  • No matter what holiday you celebrate, or what traditions you keep, being away from friends and relations during these times can be difficult. The holiday season is made even more challenging for those that must work away from their home when they would rather be celebrating with family. But sometimes duty calls. And in these times, we can only hope that the work has meaning. For Captain Chris, our character this evening, these are his Present Circumstances.This story was written by Phillip Clark.

  • We all have a job to do. For some people, this is a mantra that they repeat to themselves for their professional life. For others, it is much more personal. But the simple facts remain that work needs to be done, and we all must share in the responsibility. Of course, this means forging relationships to help us accomplish what we need to. But who do we side with? Often, you just have to take a shot, and hope that you have a good ally. In tonight’s short tale, we find out why one person states I Side With The Witness.

  • It has been said that “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” But who determines the quality of anyone’s intentions? Is it purely for us to figure out for ourselves, or do the manifestations of intentions define whether they were good or bad? In tonight’s story, which is related to an earlier story of ours titled “Gather The Pieces,” Dr. Casey Edwards gets a chance to explain his intentions. So let’s be open minded while we listen to him explain why I Won’t Go Back To The Other Side.This story was written by Phillip Clark. It was directed, engineered, and edited by Phillip Clark.

  • Fear is one of the most basic of human instincts. However, it doesn’t do anyone any good to just be afraid. Fear is a driver - something that is supposed to push you into action. Of course, it helps to know the difference between a legitimate fear and an irrational one. That being said, our story tonight can’t discuss every fear, but it can give you a simple warning about one: “Fear Not The Shadow, But That Which Cast It Not.”

  • Suffering a plane crash is one thing. Being lost in the wilderness is another. But when one thing leads to the next, coupled with thirst, malnutrition, and a lack of cover, things can start to seem hopeless. What drives you at this point? Is it the will to live? Perhaps it's being singularly focused – determined to accomplish a mission of the utmost importance. Or maybe it is a faith in the divine. Whatever the cause, and whatever the driving force, it is hard to deny the difficulties that lie ahead. Simply put, it is no stroll in the park or day at the beach. It just may be A Walk In The Rain.

  • For many people, the world of our dreams is a welcome escape from the horrors of reality. This means that a condition like insomnia can be a barrier from ending up where we are happy and relaxed. But consider the idea of a condition that is the opposite of insomnia. Consider what happens when your dreams are indistinguishable from reality. Consider what this might mean. Consider the Possibilities.

  • What is it to be content? How do you frame success? Well, some people use the company they keep as their measuring rod for such things. Of course, this requires genuine companionship. It requires honesty. And it means not holding back when it comes to important issues. So take charge - be the master of your own destiny! But also remember your companions, and consider this: you’re in it together. You might have to rise to the occasion - you might have to be their Surrogate.

  • Do you ever pipe-dream about what you would wish for if you found a genie? The thought has crossed most everyone's mind at some point or another. But it's all just fantasy right? Well, maybe.

  • Many problems seem simple at first. Like having just the right amount of information can lead you to an easy solution. Especially if you know what that solution should look like. However, such problems are, frequently, more complicated than they first appear. Sometimes, no amount of information, right or wrong, can get you where you need to be. But maybe you’ll be lucky and move past your problems naturally - maybe you’ll even grow out of them. After all, it might be Just A Phase.

  • Accepting one's fate and then moving on can be challenging, even when we know it is the right thing to do. However, it often helps to have the encouragement of friends or family - just someone to believe in us. It may also put us at ease to know how difficult it may have been for others, only for them to succeed, too. So remember to respect other people and guide them when you can. Especially if your title is that of "The Graveyard Mayor."

  • Greed and sibling rivalry are two concepts that seem to feed each other. However, when the aspect of greed becomes too overwhelming, it can blind the guilty party to the fact that their rivalry is not with their sibling, but with themselves. Just remember that the other person involved is your brother or sister, and together you are only two elements of a Nuclear Family.

  • Every relationship has its risks, rewards, and costs. This is especially true of a business relationship. In this story, we meet someone who has entered into a contractual relationship of sorts.

  • How far are you wiling to go to protect a stranger? How about thousands of strangers? What are you willing to do to ensure that humanity - the very human race - has a chance? Most people would probably be willing to go to war. Most would probably be willing to fight, kill, and die for their country. But, as we will find out tonight, when the going gets tough, sometimes the "tough" go to the end of the earth for their human neighbors.

  • There is nothing more terrifying than being confronted with the threat of imminent death. Coming face to face with one's own mortality is a situation that we all hope to put off as long as possible. But what happens when someone forces you to confront this - when they hold your life in your hands, and they seem a little too ready to take it all away? How would you feel? What would go through your mind? In this week's story, we hear from someone who has experienced just this.
