    imaginative kids. Then Jimmy gave a knife to—

    The Dangerous Scarecrow

  • I'm a 911 operator...some of our calls are STRANGE
    Tonight, we’ll get to take a look into the life of someone who lives on the leading edge of crisis!


    Our protagonist Kylie is a 911 operator, which means she’s the one who picks up the phone when you dial the emergency line. Even under normal circumstances, that is a tough job!

  • The Voice in the Night

    Tonight, we’ll visit an old classic that ISN’T Edgar Allen Poe! Ha ha!

    Let me set the scene—the deck of a schooner out on the ocean. It’s full dark outside, and the water is still. No sign of the sky is visible through a thick mist which hangs just above the ship. As you gaze out into the impenetrable darkness, you hear a voice pierce through the night, but see no one.
    Who could be out at this hour, and why aren’t they using any light? What manner of thing is this voice in the night?
    This story is called “The Voice in the Night”, and was written by William Hope Hodgson.
