I believe, if I'd known the ending, or, even read the damn description of the story, (which I never do, preferring to go in blind),: I would have skipped this story entirely. BUT, I guess, glad I didn't. glad (or whatever this emotion is) that I listened. it was nifty, &;spooky, & 45 mins. later, writing this with snot dripping down my face, feeling embarrassed that duplex neighbor heard me lose my shit. I now know I must process my own deeply buried and denied grief. Hats off to u. beautif

Did the narrator record this story on voicemail, then submit it? The poor sound quality and overall *bad* narration was jarring. I didn't last 5 minutes into the story.

THREE awkwardly repeated sentences in a single story!?! Talk about amateur hour: why has nobody bothered to edit this or do the most rudimentary quality control...?

I like this story, but the lifeless and deadpan delivery by the host/narrator ruined it.
