Welcome to Spark and Scribble, a home for narrated short stories born of worldbuilding chaos and dangerously nerdy inspiration. I’m a professional daydreamer powered by too much coffee, funny-shaped dice, wild “what ifs,” and a love of all genres... yes maybe tilting more sci-fi/fantasy). Are you seeking a few minutes of escape? This corner is for you. I’ve challenged myself to write, narrate, and produce as many audio stories as I can and share the journey along the way. If these stories help you escape, even for a moment, then they’ve done their job. Where should you start? The Beginning

    Emilys Compass | A Kindred Spirit

    Mia didn’t mean to make a friend. She just wanted a quiet table, a place to study, and somewhere that wasn’t home. The girl who sat down beside her one afternoon was strange in ways Mia couldn’t quite name always there when she arrived, still there after she left, full of questions no one had ever thought to ask Mia before. A cozy story about loneliness, unexpected friendship, and the dreams we carry for the people we love. Voice Cast Emily: voiced by Belinda Brady Host of Crime Scenes with Coffee Beans. A podcast covering true Australian murders. While coffee is not mandatory to listen, it definitely helps. Episodes drop fortnightly. Bonus ghost story episodes included, because of course they are. Find her podcast via the link below. Mia: voiced by Emily Wood Musician, singer at Emily and the Moon, and host of Shockholm Syndrome, a podcast where disturbing movies get the psychological deep-dive they deserve, and because “that was messed up” deserves a full analysis.

    Sweet Sunday | Full Circle

    He was looking for a book on the Silk Road. She said two words he hadn't heard in seventeen years. "Hey. Sweet Sunday?" What follows is a quiet, honest drama set in a rainy bookstore café, two people who loved each other badly, hurt each other thoroughly, and somehow grew into someone worth knowing. Just not together. Over black coffee and chamomile tea, they say the things that needed saying. About clinging too hard and pushing too far. About therapy and medication and the terrible relationships that taught them what they actually needed. About the people they lost when they made everyone choose sides. And about a umbrella that one of them definitely stole on purpose. "It made us who we are. That's not nothing." 🎲 New to Spark & Scribble?

    The Black Fen Trilogy III | The Archer

    The conscription notice came just after harvest time. Tobin had a white ash bow, his Pa's, his Grandpa's before him. He'd only ever shot hares and the occasional fox. His wife pressed two salted loaves into his hands and whispered "come back." He didn't promise. What followed was mud and rain and arrows loosed into clouds and a battle the knights called glorious, and the priests called holy... and Tobin called a damn meat-grinder. They called it a victory. Tobin walked home alone. He didn't tell Lissa about the buzzing in his ears. The way crow feathers made his hands shake. The dreams where the barley field sprouted corpses. The years passed. His hair turned the color of ash. Then one morning the bed was cold and his boots were gone. 🎲 New to Spark & Scribble?

    The Mailman's Diary | Man's Best Friend

    Twenty-three years a mailman. Divorced. Alone. Going through the motions of a life that had quietly stopped feeling like one. Then he started a new route. Then there was a gate on Chestnut Street, and around 1:08 PM, every single day, there was Bailey. A golden retriever. Eight years old. A faded green tennis ball. And a wagging tail that didn't care about failed marriages or empty apartments or ceilings stared at in the dark. What follows is eighteen months of journal entries from a man learning, one day at a time, that showing up for someone, even through a fence, even for ten minutes when you're the one who's struggling, is sometimes enough to save a life. He gave me his best self. Every single day. 💙 🎲 New to Spark & Scribble?

    On Terminators and Turbo Man | A Cozy Schwarzenegger Theory

    Alex and Jamie are back. Same café. Same coffee. Same dangerous theorizing without adult supervision. This time: Jingle All the Way is not a comedy. It is the final dying simulation of a Terminator who spent one last moment of processing power doing the only thing he never could, be the father John Connor needed. The mall isn't absurd. It's a battlefield model. Sinbad isn't comic relief. He's a virus that can't be purged. And Turbo Man? The ideal self. Strong. Protective. Zero casualties. Alex is running on pop tarts and coffee and his whiplash has whiplash. Jamie brought Lucky Charms energy and a theory that reframes their childhood. 🎲 New to Spark & Scribble?

    Curator of the Dark Forest Part II | Remember To Recycle

    The Brul understood the universe perfectly. It was a dark forest. Every living thing was out to get you, so get it first. Shoot anything that twitched. Ask questions later. They were very, very good at this... and horrible at it too. A piece of litter jettisoned from a passing ship centuries ago, one dented aluminum cylinder tumbling silently through the void, was enough to trigger a cascade of catastrophic misunderstandings between four paranoid warlord clans, one very confused AI defense network, and a gravitiy bomb system nobody was supposed to actually use. It was over in less than ten minutes. Somewhere on a cloaked observation ship, a Vendl curator named Plick updated the galactic record. 🎲 New to Spark & Scribble?

    The Sacred Oath of Scritch | Small Saint Rising

    Scritch was a ratkin, which meant three things. You stole. You ran. You never got caught. Scritch did things differently. When the plague carts came and no one went into the sick houses... not the guards, not the paladins, not anyone... a ratkin with a stick, a bucket, and a fake medallion did. This is a story about whether a heart can make someone worthy before the title ever arrives. He swore the oath. ⚔️ 🎲 About Spark & ScribbleShort audio fiction across every genre — cozy, epic fantasy, cosmic horror, sci-fi, comedy, and everything in between. New stories weekly.

    The Last Bureaucrat of the Apocalypse | Please Sign Here

    The world ended on a Tuesday. Milo filed the incident report on Wednesday. The universe, it turns out, cannot legally terminate itself without proper documentation... forms, signatures, divine wrath checkboxes, soul-recycling attachments, and the notary stamp of one very tired clerk from the Department of Administrative Affairs. The last building standing still hums along as if nothing happened. Typewriters type. Printers print. Coffee machines gurgle their burnt offerings. And Milo has paperwork to finish. A lot of paperwork. Somewhere in the stack is a form that either shuts reality down permanently or reboots it entirely. Process the forms. Don't spill the coffee. Try not to think too hard about what happens when you hit submit. Grab your lanyard. The end of the world has never been more administrative. 🎲 About Spark & ScribbleShort audio fiction across every genre... cozy, epic fantasy, cosmic horror, sci-fi, comedy, and everything in between.
