This is Chapter 01 of my novella, Zombie Prom. Just a robot reader but I'll post more chapters if it does well. You can buy the novella on Amazon, Smashwords, and other places: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X3W17GT https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1070479

I bring you along on a trip through the Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, MI. I fumble my words a bit here and there since I'm not scripted in this trip. I hope you enjoy. (I recorded this with a handy-recorder, so the quality is a little lo-fi but still decent.) https://binderparkzoo.org/

I try out the new "dead cat" on my mic next to a creek and chatter at you about questions I've answered on this site: https://tellonym.me/semjaza

It's been a long time since I recorded a new episode. I talk about my recent fascination with public transit, kick scooters, and my hopes of travel this upcoming spring or summer. Hope you enjoy :)

My Dearest Love, The days without you are deserts  of dry and dusty heat. The bright sun of your absence burns my body and  threatens to turn my heart to ash. Oh, but to be in the embrace of your  eyes again, those deep pools of sweet and chilling waters - I dream of  it. How I long for the calming cool of your touch, that blessed shade in  this world of harsh, searing, light. Rescue me from the torment  of the dust and the dry, the heat and the light, this world of endless  fire. Let me lay down my head in your deep shadows and lap greedily at  your waters. Let me swim, and roll, and play, tucked away from the harsh  light of the world in the depths of your shade. You are my oasis of  cool and calm, always. Time without you is torture. Aye, it is  true that in this, Death has given me his pain, but not his release. I  would weep, but my tears are ripped away by the fire of this world  before they can leave me eyes. I would cry out, but my throat is dry and  raw. Only my oasis, only you, can be my salvation. My Love,  please send me hope. Tell me that I will be graced by your shade once  again. Tell me that my oasis in this burning world still waits for me.  Tell me that I will be within your shadows soon. In deepest hope against despair, your love always, -PJR

In this episode I read journal entries from my blog http://mycutezombiegirl.tumblr.com which will eventually be a book. It's a bit of dark comedy about a man who is convinced a zombie girl is in love with him.

I talk about my spinal surgery and other random things in my life. This one is a bit shorter. I hope my few listeners enjoy :) Note - I thought my other episodes were longer, but this is just about the same length. :)

In this episode (recorded and published on Mother's Day 2018) I read a stream of consciousness piece I wrote in January of 2017: "Thoughts While Doing Laundry on January 17th, 2017 in the Early Afternoon " http://thesomewordson.tumblr.com/post/156008865290/thoughts-while-doing-laundry-on-january-17th-2017
