Anklecast 70 - Undo (Part One)

Ronnie was just looking for some antique that his father might enjoy for his birthday, but instead, he stumbled upon an item that gave him astonishing power over time. What would he do with this power? Find out in the first half of Undo. Beware, this story is dark and rough.

Anklecast 69

Hey, folks, it's the episode for July! It's a little different than usual. Things were crazy this month, due to the arrival of that annoying Hurricane Beryl. I was left without power for nearly a week, and I was unable to get a story recorded and prepared, so instead I told my personal story of living through the hurricane on this podcast. Hopefully it is a worthy substitute, because there was no other way for me to get a show out this month. I hope you enjoy!

Their paths would cross again, however, and when they did, Brent would be the one who didn't get it and Trent would be the one with the plan...

Afterward, Rish and I talk about whether certain things should be allowed in stories for entertainment or not. We also talk about our adventures in publishing, and let you know what's available now. Enjoy this if you can, and mind the trigger warning.
