This was my entry for the Phonic Fiction Fest 2022.  This challenge required entrants to create a fictional podcast drama episode within 48 hours after being given a genre, a line of dialogue, and a sound effect.  Everyone received the same line of dialogue and sound effect, but three different genres were dispersed among the entrants at random.  I received Horror-Noir.  This entry is essentially a side-story giving a little backstory into the overall mythos of The Dark Ride.  Or does it?

Please go to https://phonicfictionfest.com/ to read more about this challenge and listen to the other incredible entries, all of whom are better than mine.  I strongly recommend 'Emet' which swept many categories, and is one of the best things you will ever put in your earholes.
