Beschrijving

An unbeatable lease, a spacious house, and a single condition: do not open the door at the end of the hallway. In the midst of a personal rebuild, the rules seem like a small price to pay. But the space is not what it seems. The laws of physics bend, heat vanishes, and silence turns solid. What happens when the void decides it no longer wants to be alone? A story about loss, curiosity, and the price of looking where you shouldn't.

White balance

A routine drive across a snow-blind Minnesota turns into an existential nightmare when the horizon begins to vanish. For Mitch and Elias, the I-94 isn't just a highway anymore—it’s the edge of a world that is systematically erasing itself. What starts as a tense argument between two weary men ends at a desolate service station near Bemidji, where the laws of nature—and identity—simply cease to apply. In this haunting audio fiction, a cheap plastic "Mood Sasquatch" becomes the only barometer for a reality that no longer exists. As the silence of the North Woods seeps into the car, Mitch realizes that the snow isn't just falling; it’s reclaiming the ground, the signs, and the people. A chilling exploration of isolation, the end of the world, and the terrifying beauty of becoming nothing.

Three Sarahs

Sarah is nearly forty, eight months pregnant, and possesses a body carved in rock that defies sporting regulations. Under the artificial ochre of the competition tan, her silhouette is a biological anomaly that unsettles both the technical jury and her rivals. It is a final performance: a pyrrhic victory where muscle competes with gestation on a stage unequipped to judge exceptions. Behind the noise of the competition lies the asymmetry of a sacrifice shared only in name. While her partner envisions a family from the safety of one who hasn’t surrendered her own skeleton, Sarah carries the weight of a decision made by chance and the genetic trace of a slip-up. Three Sarahs linked by a single name and one question: whether this commitment is love or simply blind loyalty to the wrong fire.
