Old Ground

On a pitch black night. On a storm swept road a few miles out of town. Torrential rain had soaked him to the skin in seconds. But he had never been so grateful of a passing lift in his whole life. He opened the passenger car door and got in, and slowly the truth was revealed...http://www.cornucopia-radio.co.uk/short-video-fiction“Old Ground” is our brand new #shortstory #flashfiction audio piece for #Halloween2023 about a mysterious meeting on an empty road.It was written by our good friend Gareth Brownbill and all the voices were performed by the brilliant Idiom (Nick Anderson). You can find our more about Idiom on their castingclub profile: https://www.castingcall.club/idiomI really like the original #graphicnovel artwork I’ve created for the video visuals and the tone/style I’ve directed the work with. I got a #CliveBarker #Hellraiser feel when I first read this story from Gareth and I’ve used this initial feeling in the final work.As ever, do leave a comment with you own thoughts. I love the way we can all have our own ideas about a story and what it means; and no differing interpretation is ever wrong.-----Old Ground Written By Gareth BrownbillPerformed By Idiom (Nick Anderson)Music: Dark Depression by Ashot Danielyan - Via a Creative Commons LicenseVideo and Audio Edited By Peter BeestonThis work is part of our 2023 #Halloween collection

It Shouldn’t Have Been This Way

The recorder beeps when she presses the stop button, the nuclear winds blowing through her close-cropped hair. He’s gone, but she’s survived. And she will keep surviving. To spite him, despite him, or because she truly does love him. She blows the sand off the microphone and presses record.It Shouldn’t Have Been This WayWritten By Mike Gagnehttps://www.mikegagnewrites.com Read By Adam Robinsonhttps://www.adamrobinsonvo.co.uk& Sally Walker-Taylorhttps://www.sallywt.comMusic: What The Heart Sees by Jonny Eastonhttps://uppbeat.io/track/jonny-easton/what-the-heart-seesLast Squad by Alex Bessshttps://uppbeat.io/track/alex-besss/last-squadVideo and Audio Edited By Peter Beestonhttp://www.cornucopia-radio.co.uk/short-video-fiction#FlashFiction #Story #Father #Daughter #Message #VoiceActing #NuclearApocalypse #Post-Apocalyptic #Tape #MikeGagne #Audiodrama #Audiofiction
