Hi! I found this short story via J. Daniel Sawyer's Substack. I ought to begin by saying that I'm not usually interested in short stories; I prefer novels. But I did just listen to your narration and I like your writing style. It definitely felt "sci-fi" from the start. My favourite part is this simile:
"Jagged shapes and crevices protruded from the sand, as though someone had taken a blanket and covered Doc’s worktables ..."
I also think the radio audio effect sounds really good. If I may say so, though, I found your narration speed to be a little too fast overall and a few words sounded unclear.
Anyway, I'm going to check out the rest of your blog. I think I'll start with the Fallout review... :)
This is actually the only sci-fi story I’ve done, so I’m glad it fit the genre.
I appreciate your input on my reading. This is the second time I’ve done it, so I’m still getting the hang of things, and I will work on speaking clearer for the next one.
I liked it when I read it the first time, but I like it even more with the narration. But what I have to say about the guy (who really doesn't exist, so I can say this): Better him than me.
Great short story
Thanks so much!!
Pleasure

I’m slowly getting the hang of narrating. Thanks for listening!
