WPR: Wasteland Public Radio

Afterlight Episode 23- Under the Ice


Listen Later

A snowstorm traps Ken Fox inside an abandoned trailer park, where winter quiet stirs memories better left buried. Tonight’s story follows a lone survivor who crosses what he believes is a frozen field — only to discover a lake beneath the snow, packed with hundreds of zombies suspended under the ice like insects in glass, including a waitress he once knew before the fall.

As the memory deepens, Ken traces the story back to a lakeside restaurant that became a refuge during the early days of the outbreak — until winter turned escape routes into mass graves. A listener letter adds new folklore to the wasteland: pop-up soup kitchens that feed wanderers for free… and turn thieves into permanent guards.

“Under the Ice” is a meditation on winter, memory, hunger, and the quiet horror of things preserved rather than destroyed — where kindness can be sacred, silence can be dangerous, and the ground beneath your feet may already be holding the dead.
