Do you ever have a dream that feels so real that you wake up with the emotions still reverberating in your skull? The following is a nightmare that disturbed me so much one night that I was never able to return to sleep.

All I can say is WOW!!!!! I’m a bit biased as that was already my favorite of your short stories, but hearing it out loud like that gave me the same chills as when read it for the first time on a rainy Florida night. It just seems to reach down to your primevil side and squeeze out the violent revenge in all of us. Well maybe its just me and I have a rage problem….:)
Great work Kate!!!!!
haha, in static’s defense, I haven’t heard of him punching his way through a door in almost a year.
Dang it!! I wanted to use WOW! as well. Great job Kate.. Very well done and the music selection was perfect.. Blitz
Kate, here is a challenge for you.. Take something like the Betty Crocker cookbook or something else commonplace like that and turn it into a dramatic reading demo.. I bet you can do it.. Blitz
You dreamed this? Whoa…
Creepy, but very well done [ the music was a nice complement to the reading. ]
423 downloads/listens to the PodCast. I am stunned.
Nice Kate! You are to Peter like James Earl Jones is to the King James Version of the Bible. Seriously, no intended hyperbole.
Hey! Well done, Kate and Peter! I do like the music, of course.
But the writing is great as well. Kate, you did an excellent job of matching the two up. Come to think of it I wrote the song as music to accompany one of my stories but it works very well with this one! Great work!
Anyone wants to get some more choons for their werdz I can be reached at c-r-t-d-o-t-@-m-a-c-.-c-o-m. Just remove der dashes.
Peace!
Thanks for coming by, Brittney! I would encourage everyone to go listen to a few of the tracks over on his site.
