And it was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. The picture on this postcard doesn’t do it—“ And then my pen exploded, so there’s a big ink splatter on half the card now. Not a lot of room left to write. But if there were, I guess I’d say… [click, static] “The picture on this postcard doesn’t do it justice. The colors are what’s really hard to capture—there are too many of them for me to name. But you’d find them on your palette by taking four colors and blending them in various ways to get a dozen more. I never understood how you did that. How you started with a few bright tones and discovered every shade between that existed. How you did it so expertly, without any hesitation.  You rarely hesitate. It’s one of the things I envy about you. It’s one of the things that made you so good at your job. You didn’t rush, you were always so intentional and careful and sure of yourself. And I didn’t hesitate on the job either, but in other things… The only time I saw you hesitate when it mattered was— Well, I guess the important thing was that I didn’t hesitate.  Did you…did you try to reach me? Did you get another radio? Are you calling out? Can you hear this somehow?  What— [click, static] What did you want? Are you okay? Are you just bored? Do you want to talk to me specifically or are you just lonely? Never mind. I’m not sure I want the answer to that question even if you could reply.  I hope you’re okay at least. I trust that you are. You can take care of yourself. And you don’t need me for anything, you made that very clear.”  [click, static] I guess all of that wouldn’t really fit on a postcard. Probably for the best.  [click, static]

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.
