    She Who Had Been a Feast

    Content warning: implied disordered eating. She stood at the edge, her toes just so, not crossing, not touching, and tried to find her own shape, in the haze. Her own reflection, gone soft and pink in the fogged mirror of Elsewhere. ** This episode was read by Mel.

    The Princesses

    Content warnings: Child murder, racism The only reason nothing had happened to Sophia that night was because she had the mumps. That’s what Mama and Yaya said, in the weeks after, whispering over their teacups, heads together at the tiny table in the tiny apartment kitchen. “Efharisto to Theo yia parotítida.” Yaya murmured, and Mama added “Who would have thought?” They were wrong. Sophia knew, but it wasn’t polite to contradict, so she never said. But she knew that being home sick wasn’t why. That she hadn’t been safe because they’d made her stay in. She’d been left behind ** This episode was read by Kelly.

    The Man Who Fell in Love With the Sun

    Kee was invisible, before he fell in love with the Sun. He always had been. Invisible, intangible. Moving through the world, through the crowds of people wearing their bright skins like costumes, always half somewhere else. Unreal. Always trying to hear, his head cocked, ears open. Trying to find the thing that might fill the emptiness inside him. The part that was missing. The part that the others seemed to have, that let them exist in saturated color, while he faded like an old photograph. ** This episode was read by Quill.

    Too Bright, Too Loud

    Content Warnings: Parental neglect, emotional abuse, implied self-injury Maybe you could have belonged once, you who were exiled. You, who were left in place of the one they really wanted. Maybe you could have learned a better way to shut your eyes, stop your ears with your hands. Place words around experience without wincing where they gapped. Maybe you could have learned to be blind.But that’s just not how faerie children are. ** This episode was read by Rue.

    Leather

    Content warnings: Drugging, murder, cannibalism ** Will hated the food at Wok n Roll. The place was a hole in the wall--peeling diamond-patterned linoleum, yellowing striped wallpaper, three Chinese calendar scrolls 10 years out of date. If there were any justice in the world, the food would have been fantastic. A hidden gem of authentic cuisine, masked by disregard and a strip mall storefront. That’s what Yelp, and too many late night reruns of food-related reality tv shows had taught him to expect. Except what Wok n Roll served tasted as terrible as the place looked. ** This episode was read by Thomas.

    One Night in Midwinter

    Content warnings: Disassociation ** You wake up barefoot in the vacant lot on 14th street, in a circle of drowned-skin toadstools and the glittering brown fragments of shattered beer bottles. Your nightgown wraps around your ankles. The wind trickles down the back of your neck. You don’t remember how you got here. ** This episode was read by Christina.

    Maker

    Content warnings: Murder, coercion, implied pedophilia, implied sexual assault ** Finn had left the body of the boy in their bed. Petyr, grimacing at the waste, unwound the Egyptian linen sheets from the boy’s rapidly stiffening form where he lay tangled, and, draping the corpse in a 1000 thread count shroud, hoisted it onto his shoulder. The message was clear enough. Finn, though less fastidious than Petyr himself, wasn’t generally the type to leave a mess behind, especially not one Petyr would be expected to remedy. The boy’s presence was a clear indictment--I choose. You do not get to choose. ** This episode was read by Vic.

    O, Melpomene

    Content warnings: Implied self-injury, implied grooming ** I’ve never liked the taste of “I’m sorry.” Never liked it either on my own lips, crossing my tongue on insect legs, wriggling its way between my teeth. Never liked it taken from another’s mouth, like sugar surrounding a bitter dose of medicine--good for you, but unpleasant going down. Other words--taken, or given, or shared-- are more pleasing to the palate, easier to accept and enjoy. Easier to indulge in, to pass between pairs of lips like kisses. Those are the words I choose. ** This episode was read by Kris. They can be found here. ** Translating Arcadia is written, directed, & edited by Lee Seguinte. ** Website Twitter Law of Names Media

    Containment

    Content warnings: Emotional/verbal relationship abuse ** The world was on fire, and Anjelica hadn’t slept in three days. She floated in the smell of smoke. It dripped through her hair, carried on the Santa Anas, soaked into her pores, trickled in under her closed eyelids, till she was sure she could see it writhe against the red darkness. ** This episode was read by Rebecca.

    Coyote

    Content warnings: Sexual assault ** She expects the wind off the desert to be hot, to parch her lips, bring up the sweat, then dry it to salt. But as she pulls over the foothills, and the first breaths blow in through the car’s open windows, it chills her with sudden, isolating cold. The cold is dry. So dry her body aches for water to slake a thirst she didn’t know she had. ** This episode was read by Vanessa.
