    In this terse horror short, Moughon shows a lot of faith in the audience... if only friend number two had been able to! So much is left to the imagination, yet the details we do get (an unbeatable enemy that MELTS people and trees? A magical new FACE?) are more than enough to paint a picture of both terror and the desperate lengths people in this world will go through in their attempts to ward it off. A character-imposed ticking clock keeps the tension high, and the unresolved ending is great!

    This is such a great show and I can't wait to produce this as part of The Future Audio Fiction Podcast. Erin has built this simple world, where fear of the unknown and faith in a friend battle with each other until the end. It's an awesome show by an awesome writer. Highly recommend!

    Two characters are running away from their mutual enemy. So far, they've stayed together. But Two is fed up with One's dependence and threatens to leave. One, claiming magical powers, tries to persuade Two not to go. Two isn't buying it -- but should have. Suspenseful, futuristic, good job!
