3 NGÀY TRƯỚC

Father Joseph and His Blood Red Ferraiolo

All's well at the local parish. At least on the surface.  This week we meet Father Joseph. Father Joseph and Nathaniel's parents sit in the priest's office and have a nice little chat. They discuss the upcoming pancake breakfast, the flower show to raise money for the local orphanage, and next Sunday's sermon on assisting the poor and the persecuted. Father Joseph has an engaging smile and an easy laugh. He is very popular among his parishioners. Unfortunately, Joe is a very sick pup. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Play Ball

This week we meet Larry. Lar, like crazy armed nut-jobs from sea to shining sea, owns a Bushmaster XM-15 with a Vortex Spitfire scope and plenty of ammo. All legally obtained.   It's a beautiful spring morning. Opening Day of a brand new baseball season. The sun is shining. The grass is green. The boys are ready to play ball. But unless sanity suddenly intervenes, unlikely, it’s best to prepare for more American carnage. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Graveyard

This week we meet Jack. Jack’s about to turn ten. His family has just arrived at their Airbnb on the coast of Maine. Right next door to their sea-front cottage is a graveyard, with gravestones dating back before the 18th century. Young Jack stumbles upon one stone that sends a shiver of terror down his spine.

Insomnia

This week we meet Jen. Jen’s been having some trouble sleeping. A lot on her mind. Kids. Job. Boss. Ex-hubby. Noisy furnace. And on and on. No end to the toils and troubles. She stuffed her ears with wax plugs. Meditated. Found something to be grateful for. Fell asleep lickity split.But now it’s just three hours later. And she’s awake. Wide awake. In the pitch black of early morning. Body and brain buzzing. Monkey noise fills her head. She feels right on the edge of madness. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Independence Day

This week we visit an old Southern plantation. Likely one that grows cotton or tobakkie. The War for Independence has come and gone. The Founders have grown fat and happy. But their slaves, well, not so much. Folks don’t like being enslaved. And so, occasionally, they rise up and fight back. They declare their Independence.

Now something has transpired between Ollie and Patty. Or has it? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Old German

This week we meet G Otterbein. When G Otterbein moves in next door, the MacLeod boys are quite certain he is either Gestapo, SS, or a concentration camp guard. Their father landed on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. Over the next year he battled the Nazis and helped liberate the death camps. He has no love for Germans. And he has passed his hatred on to his boys.How’s it going to work out in this tranquil New Jersey suburb? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
