In this week’s episode of CorkBoard Radio, Tiffany Pullman takes her listeners on an adventure that is out of this galaxy in her short story, “Squirmel Tide Rising.” This first Chrystalis Chronicles story introduces CorkBoard Radio listeners to Fin and Sola, a pair of sisters who have been separated for the past fifteen years due to the kidnapping of their birth parents off the Starlight space station. When Fin finds herself stranded on the island planet of Bolca, she takes it upon herself to help the natives calm the rising squirmel tide. But as nothing seems to keep the lava/sunbeams tide of squirmel from rising, Fin sends out a signal for help via an old school radio transponder. Will anyone pick up Fin’s message? Will the island planet with Fin and all of its natives be saved? Or will the squirmel tide overtake the entire planet, destroying everything on it forever?
