A Walk Within

We are all going to die and we all know it. This can be both a burden and a blessing.

"THE MOST HORRIBLE STORY" By John W. Jakes, Published in Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy magazine in January 1952 and how it made me think of the ultimate unknown, the ultimate horror - Death.

Disclaimer: This episode's story and conversation deals with dark and mature themes and topics which some listeners might find disturbing. These are only my personal thoughts and opinions. Listener's discretion is advised.

Welcome to A Walk Within and I am glad to be back for Season 2 with darker science fiction stories from the bygone era and their adaption in old time radio style. 

This Episode's story is "The Still Small Voice" by Clive G.B. Jackson Published in 1950 in #14th Edition of Avon Fantasy Reader and how it made me think of change and my attitude towards it.
