Ep. 171: Two poems from Worth 1k — Volume 1

First a poem about literally being on the road – between Moab and Salt Lake City where, for the only night of my road trip, I’d booked a room for the night. I was exhausted when I left Moab (after a full day hiking at Arches National Park), then I drove. And drove. And drove, to SLC. The second poem recounts the disturbing wake-up-call I was greeted with, after not enough sleep.

Ep. 170: Pay Attention (a short story) part 2/2

This story contains sex, violence, bondage, pain, fear, humiliation, and death. Death by zombie.
 
This story looks at the situation at a zombie readiness training camp during its final weeks of training before a full-scale zombie outbreak. It follows the two men who are tasked with keeping the camp running while the man in charge -The Sergeant- is distracted, and how this lapse of management goes horribly awry. It also gives a glimpse of what happened with Mary, a woman totally unprepared for what she’s gotten herself into, and who goes on not only to survive the zombie outbreak, but to become one of the central characters of Forget What You Can’t Remember.

Ep. 169: One poem from Worth 1k — Volume 1

The Fiery Furnace at Arches National Park in Utah is only available for exploration as part of a paid, guided tour group – unlike the rest of the part, which you are free to explore on your own time and at your own pace and with a single (nominal) fee for access to the entire park. From the overlook, I couldn’t really see much. I certainly couldn’t tell whether it would have been worth my time and money to reschedule my entire day around the guided tour… not from the information stop where the tour signups take place, and not much moreso from the overlook. But I did write this poem.
