(sigh)
God, fine, you really want me to pay attention to this message, huh? I don’t see what’s so important about it, unless I’m translating it wrong.
[click, static]
“You and Harry, what happened?” That’s what you’re asking, right?
[click, static]
I don’t really know how to answer this, honestly. It’s not really much of a question at all.
[click, static]
I mean, what exactly are you asking? What happened when we were working together, what happened six years ago, what happened before I left? What?
A lot happened with Harry over the past fifteen years. There was that disastrous first meeting, then there were all the jobs we did after that... then there was the last job.
And it was really meant to be Harry’s last—like I said, she had wanted out and it was going to be a big payday. And everything was going exactly as planned up until the moment it wasn’t. And when things go wrong with what we do, they go really wrong.
We got caught, that’s the long and short of it. This was right before everything changed and—

You know what? I don’t want to tell you about that. And I don’t have to. Vague questions get...vague answers.
[click, static]
And, actually, while we’re talking about it—I don’t want to answer any questions about Harry at all anymore, okay? I’m...I don’t even know why I’ve been talking about her so much. I guess I’m in the habit of seeing her and therefore in the habit of thinking about her but now that I actually have someone to talk to, can we just forget all about her? She isn’t important.
[click, static]
Yeah, she’s not important. So I’m going to go ahead and put her in the “off limit topics” pile. Pick something else to ask me. There’s nothing that happened with Harry and I that’s worth telling.
Alright, Birdie, I’m signing off.

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.
