[click, static] Please, Harry, I need—if you can hear this, just please get on the radio and talk to me. I don’t care what you say, I just need— [click, static] What are we going to do, Harry? What are we going to become if we stay like this? I have all the time in the world to seek answers but that just means I have all the time in the world to never find them. Life is so long, this woman—she lived to be sixty in this world and we— [click, static] I can’t keep doing this. Another two, three decades like this? Only to die one day, never to be found, decaying in the open air while the rest of the world continues not to move around us.  I think I’m going insane. We would joke about that, you and I, do you remember?  We’d have our “sanity days” where we’d do something that reminded us that we were real, and that time was marching forward, even if it didn’t feel like it. We’d tell each other a story the other had never heard, or run around outside like kids, or see who could eat one of your scones the fastest. Small stuff, dumb stuff.   [click, static] Do you think Leann had anything like that? She must have been so lonely.  [click, static] We’re responsible for that Harry. You and me. We could’ve helped this woman not be lonely but instead we stayed in that stupid house and— [click, static] Please. Please just get on your radio and tell me I’m real.  [click, static]

BREAKER WHISKEY is an ongoing, daily microfiction podcast exploring one woman’s journey to find additional survivors in an America made empty by an unknown event in the late 1960s. In 1968, two women find themselves in rural Pennsylvania during what turns out to be some kind of apocalyptic event. By the time they discover that everyone else is gone, it’s too late to figure out what happened. Despite not liking each other at all, the women work together to survive, until six years later one of them sets out on her own, driving around the country to find other survivors. This is her, calling out to anyone who might listen. BREAKER WHISKEY is made by Lauren Shippen and recorded on a 1976 Midland CB Radio. It releases daily, Monday through Friday. If you would like the entire week's episodes as one single download, released on Monday, you can support the show at patreon.com/breakerwhiskey or by becoming an Atypical Plus supporter at atypicalartists.co/support.
