    Journey with me into another horror story written by yours truly. The first part of this two-episode story is the origin of our main character Bill's advanced prosthetic. Join me in reliving his days in college which was filled with an experimental group who indulged in "Try a new candy night".


    My inspiration stems an episode of Vice. Specifically, the one about the flesh-eating drug Krokodil. Also, I am inspired by the prosthetics shown on the talk show "This Morning." I will link the clip I am referring to below.


    In this episode we also talk about opioid abuse and how it impacts the lives of people. In particular, we will talk about the people that were affected in that episode of Vice.


    Note: The audio edit sounds WAY better this time. I am cooking.

    Delve with me into a horror story written by yours truly. It is about a young man who has Schizophrenia and is unable to distinguish reality when he goes to a bar.


    My inspiration stems from a psychology major I met in college who criticized a different short story I had written about multiple personality disorder, which was inaccurate. This story is not truly accurate to Schizophrenia, but I feel it does a better job compared to the trope.


    In this episode we also talk about Schizophrenia and how it impacts the lives of people. In particular, we will talk about the unfortunate case of Bryan Charnley, an artist who experimented with his Schizophrenia medication.


    Note: I will get better at tuning and editing my audio just give me some time to cook.


    Information on Bryan Charnley's 17 portraits are available at the following link.
