PIP
Who are you taking to the dance on Friday?
HOCKETT
Well, it's a toss-up between Scotty French and Tammy Twinlake.
PIP
Tough choice. How are you going to decide?
HOCKETT
Well I wrote an algorithm that factors in popularity, dancing skills, what kind of car they drive, clique associations, and SAT scores.
PIP
And hotness. Don't forget the hotness factor.
HOCKETT
Oh yeah. That complicates things.
(beat)
You know what? I'll just take my twin brother.

TRANSCRIPT

I am powerful, but in my presence you are not vulnerable.
Do not fear me for the color of my skin.
In fact, understand that I am afraid and others fear for me.
Because I am powerful, and in your presence that makes me vulnerable.

TRANSCRIPT

Dear Margaret. I’m not sure if you’re kidding or not, but I didn’t do that. I will admit I considered it, or something like it, but then the storm started, and I decided to stay in bed and scare the crap out of you some other time. I have checked the latch on your window and reset the alarm. If you’d like me to sleep on the floor in your room tonight, I’m happy to. Michael.

TRANSCRIPT

Dear Michael. I imagine you thought it was hilarious to come scratch around my window in the dead of night and pretend to try to get in. Your commitment to scaring me is admirable, given the storm, but joke’s on you, I’m afraid. You got drenched. I got a slightly interrupted but otherwise satisfactory night’s sleep. Margaret.

Dear Margaret. I hope you enjoyed the quiet while you watched your movie. As you prepare for bed, I just wanted to let you know that the back door was slightly ajar when I went to get some water. I thought I saw a shadow slipping around the back yard toward the bedroom. Don’t worry. I’m sure it was just a very large raccoon. Sleep well. Michael.

Dear Michael. I hope you enjoyed the whipped cream with your blue … berries. It’s my night to have the TV, so in honor of entering week 9 of the quarantine, I’m planning to watch We are Still Here. Why should I be the only one trapped in a horror film? Please resist banging away on your ukelele after 9 pm. Margaret

Dear Margaret. Never fear, your strawberries are safe. However, I hope you didn’t intend to eat them with the whipped cream I found in the very back of the refrigerator, behind a strange bulwark of turnips and aged spinach. If you did, please forgive me. It was delicious -- so sweet and so cold. Michael

David calls Elvira from another timeline. Elvira needs to talk David into helping her. David needs to convince Elvira to trust him. It’s basically a whole… wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey thing.

This story in eight parts can be listened to in any order. To follow Elvira’s timeline, go E1-E8, and to follow David’s, D1-D8 – once they are all released, of course.

Snakes lay strange eggs.

TRANSCRIPT

Snakes lay leathery eggs.

Snake eggs are always oblong and soft, kind of like the deflated balloon you find still tied to the mailbox a week after no one showed up to your birthday party, because it it turned out no one actually got the invitations you sent, because you used the outdated 34 cent stamps that were lying around, not the Forever Stamps, but how were you to know, and at the time you were so proud that you sent the invites all by yourself but it you just failed again, and the letters were all returned to sender on the same day in a big batch, the worst belated present.

Anyway they use their egg tooth to break out of them.

Snakes lay strange eggs.

When life can finally begin.

I could be dead.
I would be dead if I’d been born 50 years ago. God knows, I’ve thought about it. There’s been no point living this half-life.
Instead, today I wake to the loud rhythmic banging of my new heart (my new heart!).
And my life can finally begin.

There is a unit of length called a smoot, equal to 5’7”/1.70m, that is named for one Oliver Smoot. In 1958, some students in an MIT fraternity had Smoot lay down on the Harvard bridge, get up, move the length of his body, and lay down again, as part of a pledge prank. The bridge, for those who care to know, is 364.4 smoots long, plus or minus one ear.

Words of advice from Jack's old pal Ahab Cloud.

TRANSCRIPT

The following was found written on an undated postcard sent from the Motel Americana, undated:

Dear Jack,

Some words of advice from the open road:

Squeeze that fish too tight and it’ll slip right out of your hands.

Chad. Never trust a chad.

Whenever possible work at the intersection of all intersections.

Schedule all the real, real dirty work for the Friday before Easter.

Salad will kill you more slowly than red meat, increasing the possibility for painful illness or depression due to the loss of friends and family and everything that brought one comfort in the old world.

Best to the Family,
A. Cloud

Hoopoes lay smelly eggs.

TRANSCRIPT

Hoopoes lay smelly eggs.

Like their namesake, unless I’m pronouncing it wrong, they’re a bird that will lay a smelly, brown fluid across their egg batch, to kind of prevent predators and stuff from wanting to look at them, because they’re so nasty and disgusting. It makes them smell like bacteria and rotting meat. I remember in the summer, you did not want to get outside the house when it got too warm, because of all the animals, so I can only imagine how repulsive these eggs seem. They’re normally blue, but they make them all gross and brown.

Hoopoes lay strange eggs.
