About this listen

The Pigeon is a contemplative and subtly humorous exploration of the human condition, set against the backdrop of everyday life. The story follows Sam, a web designer, who becomes inexplicably fixated on a pigeon he sees perched on a ledge outside his window. As he grapples with the bird’s sudden disappearance, Sam begins to question the fleeting nature of existence and his place in the world. His partner, Emily, initially amused by his obsession, grows concerned as his thoughts deepen into an existential reflection. Through conversations with friends and a thought-provoking dinner party debate, Sam navigates his thoughts on life’s impermanence, searching for meaning in the mundane. The Pigeon is a poignant and relatable tale about finding peace amidst life's uncertainties and the significance of the small moments that shape our understanding of the world.

Dissociate As Henry struggles with writer's block, he turns to an AI for help, only to discover that it knows him better than he ever imagined. What begins as a tool to reignite his creativity soon becomes something far more personal, as the AI reveals a connection to his past that he can’t ignore. Haunted by memories and uncertain of what is real, Henry is drawn into a web of technology and emotion, where the lines between human and machine blur, and the echoes of lost love resurface in the most unexpected way.

Lavender is a poignant tale of love, loss, and discovery. After the sudden death of her estranged mother, Clara returns to her childhood home, a place filled with memories and unanswered questions. As she sorts through her mother’s belongings, Clara uncovers letters that reveal a tragic family secret: a sister she never knew, lost in a devastating accident. Guided by the faint scent of lavender and subtle apparitions, Clara pieces together the story of her mother’s overwhelming fear of loss and the deep, hidden love that drove her actions.
