Hello, gentle listener, and welcome to nocturnal transmissions, the fortnightly podcast that brings you dark tales both old and new, performed by your humble narrator, Kristen Holland.

It would appear we've arrived at another milestone, our one hundredth transmission.

My oh my, how did that happen? It feels like it was only yesterday we tentatively

probed our very first tentacle into the digital realm. Do you remember that inaugural story,

gentle listener? A haunting morsel of

sci-fi horror

titled Symbios

by the extraordinary

J. A. Conrath.

To mark

our 100th episode,

we're going to retransmit that first offering for you to, well, enjoy or be traumatized by.

And you.

Now, if you're one of our beloved Patreon patrons, we suggest you stop listening to this transmission and fire up your Patreon exclusive version of this 100th episode.

There you'll still be able to revisit Symbios, but we'll also be proudly presenting a brand-new story we've concocted for the exclusive feed,

with which we humbly request you entertain yourself by contrasting it with its younger cousin.

What fun.

So, beloved patron, off you pop, play your Patreon episode.

You're not going to miss anything from this point on.

As for the rest of you, magnificent rabble, nocturnal transmissions is proud to

represent a futuristic blast from the past, the very first nocturnal transmissions
