This week’s story is “Amateur in Chancery” by George O. Smith. If someone’s life depended on it, could you explain the concept of right and left to someone who had tentacles and had never heard of either?

This week, we have an original story that was submitted to Auditory Anthology called ”It’s About Time” by DH Parish, which is a little like the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers, except the pod people do odds and ends for the community.

This week’s story is “Security Risk” by Ed M Clinton Jr. Over the years I’ve heard a few people say that if there’s a task you don’t want to do, do it once really badly and no one will ever ask you again. Here we learn that if there’s a fight you really don’t want to get involved in, all you have to do is make both sides think they can’t trust you.

This week, we have “Pen Pal” by Stephen Marlowe. We meet Matilda, a young woman looking for love by submitting letters to a literary magazine. That’s something much more common when the story was published in 1951 and probably pretty close to using a dating app these days. When she thinks she’s found the love of her life, things get really strange.

This week’s story is "The Eternal Wall" by Raymond Gallun. The Eternal Wall is a story that weaves together themes of love, tragedy, and the passage of time. It reminds me of the 1973 Gene Roddenberry movie Genesis II, or Futurama. Both stories deal with people who suddenly find themselves in the far flung future. This story will tug on your heart strings a little more than either of those, though.
