Breaker, breaker, this is Whiskey calling out for Birdie.
I am so glad you’re still here. I got your new message—at least, I’m fairly certain it’s new, it sounds different. 
And I had a thought—I haven’t actually decoded it yet— I accidentally packed the morse code book underneath some stuff, so I’ll have to stop over to pull it out, which I guess I would need to do to translate it anyway. I might not be abiding by traffic laws, but listening to the CB, reading a book, and driving all at once genuinely might kill me. 
But anyway, the thought I had—I’m gonna pull over soon, but I was thinking, if you’re hearing this right now, change the message again. I’ve got an idea of how we could maybe have a real-time conversation, even through morse. We just need to be on at the same time.

So I’m gonna get off the horn and let you transmit while I find a good spot to stop—not that there’s a bad spot, no one’s gonna get on me for stopping in the middle of the highway even—but, anyway, if you’re able get on and change the transmission while I’m driving, then I’ll know that you’re actually sitting in front of your radio and we can talk. Actually talk. 
Alright, Whiskey, going quiet.

BREAKER WHISKEY is an ongoing, daily microfiction podcast exploring one woman’s journey to find additional survivors in an America made empty by an unknown event in the late 1960s. In 1968, two women find themselves in rural Pennsylvania during what turns out to be some kind of apocalyptic event. By the time they discover that everyone else is gone, it’s too late to figure out what happened. Despite not liking each other at all, the women work together to survive, until six years later one of them sets out on her own, driving around the country to find other survivors. This is her, calling out to anyone who might listen. BREAKER WHISKEY is made by Lauren Shippen and recorded on a 1976 Midland CB Radio. It releases daily, Monday through Friday. If you would like the entire week's episodes as one single download, released on Monday, you can support the show at patreon.com/breakerwhiskey or by becoming an Atypical Plus supporter at atypicalartists.co/support.
