Baby Jessica fell down a well.

110 • I hope she's happy
From Dark Topic Plus - with purpose.
This episode is about domestic violence. It is pretty heavy, and I said i'd not release it. But I am because I was told it might help. Thank you!

TALES FROM THE BOTTOM DOWN#22
As this is Easter Jack and I both agreed it should be released on all tiers so HAPPY EASTER but with this does come a warning, this episode probably hits in at a strong 8 on the offensive scale so please do keep this in mind when hitting the play button or you will look a bit silly afterwards saying how offended you are.
1) School is out for Easter, school is out forever!
A young pretty school teacher prepares to hand over to a substitute teacher as she prepares for her wedding day but little did she know when she went into her school on Easter weekend she would never leave alive!
2) Father Knows Best!
Those who live there say there aint no Easter that can better a New York City Easter but as the Gedion family is about to find out, there is always an exception to the rule!
Enjoy Or Not

5 stars
Jack Luna is my all time favorite pod caster, he is a brilliant writer, imaginative, with the raspy smoking voice, puts me in a calming space:) always 5 stars.
“I hope she’s happy”
Gut-wrenching and heart-breaking are an understatement. I was already in tears before I heard you breakdown. Listening to breakdown too was really rough. Thank you for sharing this story. It should go without saying, but hopefully this story can help parents who are in an abusive relationship with each other see how horrifying and lifetime traumatizing it is for them. Love you Luna!🖤
THE BEST!
I LOVE Jack Luna and his content. Fantastic writer. His storytelling is always so raw and compelling and he is one of the most honest true crime podcasters I’ve listened to, especially when it comes to his own personal experiences. There isnt much left of that in the world. I’ve followed him from show to show for years and don’t plan on stopping. We love you Jack! ❤️❤️
