Chapter 1 Continued: Cold Cases

The episode opens with a tender, almost haunting flashback of Monica Gibson’s childhood in Jackson, Mississippi. Through her memories, listeners are pulled into a world marked by the rhythms of Southern life, where innocence and unease existed side by side. These early recollections offer more than nostalgia—they hint at the formative experiences that shape Monica’s sensitivity to stories of loss and injustice. The narrative then shifts decades forward, drawing the audience into a near-present day moment where an old wound is reopened. A murder from 1978, long buried beneath time and silence, stirs once more as a grieving family seeks answers that were denied to them for years. Through their voices, listeners feel the ache of time passing without justice, and the urgency of a case that refuses to stay cold. Rather than Monica uncovering the revelation, the audience experiences it directly—piece by piece—as the family’s fight for truth comes into focus. The juxtaposition of Monica’s past with the family’s more present struggle reminds us that the echoes of unresolved crimes extend far beyond case files; they ripple across generations, demanding to be heard. This continuation of Chapter 1 plants a chilling but necessary question in the mind of every listener: When justice is delayed, is it ever truly denied—or can truth still find its way back into the light?

Chapter 2: Forbidden Friendship & Intro to Chapter 3: Black Trash-bags

Content Warning: This is a work of fiction set in Mississippi, 1978. The episode contains highly sensitive and derogatory language used to reflect the racial tension of the time. It is included for narrative authenticity and may be disturbing to some listeners. Discretion is advised. Chapter 2: Forbidden Friendship Monica slips into memory, recalling a friendship that defied the unspoken rules of her Mississippi hometown in 1978. The innocence of shared moments in childhood stands in sharp contrast to the danger of being seen together across racial lines. But memory only lingers so long before reality intrudes. Back at the party, Monica and her mother, Samantha, find themselves face-to-face in a clash that has been years in the making. Words spill out like broken glass, cutting through the celebration until tension explodes into an altercation that clears the room. What begins as reminiscence ends in rupture, leaving everyone shaken and scattered. Intro to Chapter 3: Black Trash-bags As the dust settles, the story edges toward darker terrain. The new chapter, Black Trash-bags, begins not with noise, but with silence—the kind of silence heavy with what goes unsaid and unseen. Here, we enter a space where the ordinary conceals the unthinkable, and where the things tucked away will soon demand to be uncovered.

Beautiful Ugly by Bathsheba Smithen

Ugh! I can't get rid of this. I've tried to pray it away but it's as if years of suppressed aggression is now surfacing and I'm sitting over the porcelain throne, tossing up my guts for hours; puking up my dysfunction. Nothing has gone or is going the way I want it to. I'm good....so I should have the finer things. But that's the religiosity speaking. I'm leaking with self-righteousness. Pride. Bitterness. Jealousy.....and RAGE. All of my ugly is coming out on this page and I can't contain it any longer. I've been taking it to the altar, reading the Word of God, but it won't disappear and I'm near the cross. Why do I feel loss, like I can't find me in this sea of despair--anger. And now, I'm condemning myself for being in pain and actually dealing with the feelings associated with the hurts that were never expressed. Frustrated that my sins are exposing themselves, looking in the mirror and seeing my beautiful ugly, I've discovered that the Word of God does not function like a microwave although I've treated it that way. Some healing will take time. However, the desire to expedite the process gnaws at me like an irritating gnat that won't go away.
