You wake in a strange room.

Your clothes are foreign and the walls are covered in objects from a different world.

You don't know where or when you are.

Or if you're still dreaming.

There are footsteps in the hall.

Jumping up, you race out of the room and into the streets.

You have just entered The Twilight Histories.

Hi, I'm Jordan Harbor, and thank you for listening to The Twilight Histories.

Once in a while, I'd like to do something fun with our supporters in Patreon.

I ask them for show ideas, then farm those ideas out to our team of podcasters

who turned them into fully produced short shows.

We've done this in the past, and I know our patrons really

enjoy hearing their ideas come to life. For today's show, I gave our patrons the title,

Oasis Lost. I had just seen Dune, so I was thinking of something deserty. But of course I had no clue what our patrons would come up with.

Fourteen ideas were submitted, and I'll just tell you some of the runners-up, so you get an idea of the caliber of these ideas.

I think they're fantastic.

And I was also surprised that many of them were actually off-world.

Did our patrons also see Dune?

So here's the first one.

Nicholas Menipase, or Manipace, I'm sorry.
