Someone's Story is a project where I read some kind of found written work. These pieces are often out of context in time and place. I want to keep the memories they tried to capture, alive.

A short aside about peacocks and sunburn.

O.k, o.k... help me out here.

Did anyone else hear that and go 'Kittens?'

Now we start to get an age idea for our note writer and her peers!

What happens when you find a stack of hidden notes in a forgotten Mensa-approved board game at your local thrift store? You read the pages, in time with your listeners, one page at a time. No reading ahead! No reordering of pages! Just straight through reading, as we wonder where the words will take us.

Welcome to Notes!

Just a memory I wrote down as homework for the as-of-yet-unreleased Beautiful Malcontents project with Jen and Tracy.

I'll be docking more pieces/homework here as time goes on.

Recorded on my old Turtle Beach gaming headset at the PC in the basement, on a whim, more for someone else than for me. 

Post-rpg testing session with the guys for Roleplay Geeks.

I just needed to reflect for a little bit.

(Oh, another side note, after listening to this... I know I said I didn't resort to medicating like others might. That's not a criticism. I *should* have done something, but, like a lot of people, I endure and suffer when I should just give in and make the pain go away. It's a crazy, crazy thing. And I in no way wanted anyone to think I was on a high horse bragging about putting up with it. Not - the - case.)

Considering Pandemic Time, I thought this was an appropriate read.

(This was the 1st reading I did in October of 2020 for this project. It took me a bit to get it published. I might do more like this in 2021.)

And, of course, I found a glitch at the end. Somewhere in the edits to the final version, the ending got a pesky digital artifact that I couldn't take out. I had already changed my recording setup when I found it, so that tiny, 8 second section sounds different than everything else. Most of you won't notice, but I wanted those who would to know that I know [laughs].

Addendum 09/11/21

Looking back on this. Happy with it, but I've learned a lot the past year. I think I'll choose another Poe story to do for this Halloween =)

Thus ends the origin story of Amanita Falstaff. 

Keep watch for more adventures from our unlikely heroes.

We switch gears to a two-part origin story for our next character in this adventure.

Originally written and recorded for Christmas.

Kira made an interesting observation. As a kid on the spectrum, she liked that I didn't write a speaking part for Anita. She said the focus on environmental sounds and descriptions made her feel like it was more appropriate for a character I wrote with her in mind.

The next episode in our journey of the grrl who would be a one-person Gnomish Fire Department.

The beginning of a sometimes project for me and my daughters.

This story began as an intro to an episode of Roleplay Geeks. I transferred it here as its own project.

Suitable for kids, if you don't mind a reference to The Nine Hells.
