Remnants : An Audio Drama

Eira Major's Hanging Sloth

A dark fantasy thriller audio drama.When we die, the remnants of us return to the First and Last Place... Remnants is a dark fantasy thriller audio drama following the Apprentice as he learns how to read remnants under the frustrating supervision of Sir. Remnants are seemingly innocuous objects – a broken pocket watch; a steel thimble; a silk scarf – but when the Apprentice looks closely, he sees how each one holds the remnants of someone’s life story.Each week the Apprentice reads a new remnant, following that person’s journery beginning to end. When he’s done, he must make a judgement; shelve or discard. But he doesn’t know what the criteria is or what the consequences of such a judgement might be.The more remnants the Apprentice reads, the more we begin to understand the magnitude of the task he has been set. And the more both we, and the Apprentice himself, wonder why it is him who has been chosen to do it.With every week, a new mystery. With every new mystery, a terrible choice.Find out more about Remnants here. Remnants is a part of the Rusty Quill Network. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Apprentice finds himself in a verY familiar place, and his frustration isn’t Doing him any favours.Transcript: https://hangingslothstudios.com/remnants-transcripts/2-53Support the show on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/hangingslothsSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hangingslothstudiosCONTENT WARNINGS: Reference to severe child abuseReference to misuse of alcohol to make children sleepDescription of the emotional aftermath of child abuse, including PTSDLeave a review on Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/remnants-an-audio-drama-5722315Leave a review on ListenNotes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/remnants-an-audio-drama-eira-major-qxCsBXeOtzK/Follow the show on Tumblr: https://remnantspod.tumblr.com/Follow Eira on Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/hangingsloths.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.
