![]() I start with my trusted sources, a select set of podcasts that are automatically downloaded to my phone. The search tends to start two or three days before the drive. It's a bloated genre that is sparsely populated with quality, so it's not unusual for me to load several gigabytes of audio per trip onto my smartphone. I've found it to be the perfect combination for horror stories, and each trip is accompanied by a mixture of horror podcasts and audiobooks. As a bonus, because my family lives in the middle of bumfuck, nowhere, I have the luxury of minimal to nonexistent traffic, and a scenic landscape provided by East Texas lake country. It's a trip that affords me four hours (two up, two down) of unadulterated isolation. I typically visit my family once a month. That said, I suppose I should start from the beginning. About something that need not shout from the soapbox, for even a mere whisper is enough to captivate us, shake our internal fabric, and in time, shatter our very core. ![]() About something so terrible and frightening that we as humans had confined it to our nightmares, our imaginations, and a laundry-list of conveniently labeled mental illnesses. It's about something darker, and much less comprehensible. This isn't about scrambling over each other in a mad frenzy for the soapbox, shouting the loudest, and hoping that someone somewhere will give your drop in the ocean enough mental registry to generate an emotional response. No, I'm not talking about polar-wing political crackpots, or teenage atheists that have suddenly and effortlessly figured out how to fix the world. I suppose it was only natural that those formerly incapable of communication would eventually be drawn to the internet.
