I don’t… [click, static] I’m in my closet. They’re—whoever they are—they’re still moving around the house, quiet and slow, like they’re… (a hushed laugh) Well, it’s like they’re casing the place. They’re moving like I used to back when I was robbing penthouse apartments.  And maybe—I mean, I had the thought that maybe it was Pete or something, but— I mean, it’s a person. Even if my instinct to waking up to someone moving through the house like they didn’t want to be heard was to hide, it’s still a goddamn person. There is someone else in this world and they’re alive.  And I was about to risk it, was about to go out there and see who it is and introduce myself but the closer I got to my bedroom door… I caught a whiff of something. A—a cologne or a…I don’t know, but it…my stomach fell to the floor. Because I know that smell, it’s burned in my brain for the rest of my life but there’s no way— [click, static] Except if I’m right…then I’m in danger. If I’m right, then whatever is going on with Harry might be a lot worse than I thought.  I need to get out of here.   [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. 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.
