Breaker Whiskey

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Alright, okay, I’m thinking I should maybe explain some things.  [click, static] Though you’d think by this point I’d earned some explanations of my own, but then again I guess I have the advantage of speaking in words, not dits and dahs. But I did say I’d happily sit by the radio for hours and translate whatever you wanted to send me, so if you do have explanations to...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Hey Harry? Where are you? [click, static] You could have at least left a note. Something to let me know that you’re okay, that you’re not de— [click, static] What happened? When did you leave? Maybe if it was June, I’d be able to look at your garden and figure out just how long its been since you last tended to it, but you’d only just be putting new seeds in the ground...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Harry? [click, static] Harry, do you read? [click, static] Okay, that’s…good. I don’t know that I want her to hear this. But I feel like I need to say it out loud or I’ll go crazy keeping it in.  I’m nervous. I—I pulled over because I turned onto a road that I’ve driven down a million times before on supply runs and it was the most familiar thing I’ve seen in nine mont...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Well, welcome back to the fucking party, Birdie. Once again, telling me that a place isn’t safe.  Do you really think that I’m going to trust you? Do you really think I’m going to listen to whatever you have to say? Where the fuck have you been? I don’t know if you know this, but I’ve been talking to someone else—also through morse code, so maybe you know them but they...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Okay, so, I’ve been marinating on all of it, the book, the messages from Fox, what Birdie told me all those months ago. And something is starting to crystallize.  Eternity’s whole purpose was to make the smallest possible change in order to preserve the one future they wanted. Nöys and her people could also time travel but they allowed for multiple futures. And her for...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Okay, so I’ve been reading this fucking book, The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov and I finally finished it … Listen, it’s not really my thing. Not that sci-fi isn’t my thing, but I’m not sure this kind of sci-fi is up my alley. And why are male writers so weird about women so often? That’s not the point. The point is…I assume you’re trying to tell me something with th...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Alright, I’ve mapped out a route back home—back to Pennsylvania and I think it’ll take me…four days? At most? It’s pretty snowy up here, I wish I were taking the southern route, so I don’t want to push it too much. A few days is not going to make a world of difference, but me spinning out on black ice and wrapping the car around a tree will.  [click, static] I don’t kn...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] I feel…hungover. It feels like my brain has been spinning nonstop and reading this fucking book— My thoughts can’t land on any one idea, I’m taking in too much information and spitting too many theories out that it’s all becoming mush and I’m not sure anything I’ve said on here has made sense in weeks and I—I don’t want to be doing this fucking alone anymore! [click, s...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] I didn’t—I guess I’m not totally numb to everything. I didn’t mean to…go on like that yesterday. I—(sigh) if anyone is listening, maybe just ignore everything I’ve said this week. It’s not—I didn’t mean anything by it. Let’s just—let’s move on. [click, static] It’s only been, what, a handful of weeks since I left Los Angeles? But I find myself needing to lay out the sa...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Except, if I were dead, how does that explain Harry? I obviously have some…guilt over what I did that I think would factor into my brain making up a weird purgatory of no people and mysterious, possibly all-knowing beeps on the radio that feel like they’re taunting me more than they’re helping me. But, even if I didn’t spend my life thinking there was an afterlife, I c...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Okay, alright, sorry, I think I had a mental breakdown yesterday. Um, another mental breakdown. Maybe this is all some kind of prolonged breakdown and I’m actually sitting in a padded room somewhere.  The thing I almost asked—I’m not sure I even want to say it out loud, it’s idiotic.  [click, static] I was going to ask if you’re god. There. See? Fucking stupid.  [click...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] “You are the stone”.  [click, static] Does that? Does that mean what I think it means? That…that all of this—what the world is now, the lack of people, Leann—are you trying to tell me its all my fault? How could—how does that even work? If—if this really is about something I did…I mean, fuck, I don’t know what to do with that. Even though it’s something I’ve thought ab...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] There’s nothing for me here. All I’m accomplishing by staying is intruding on Leann’s privacy and making myself lonelier.  I don’t believe in the afterlife. Or, at least, I haven’t as a general rule. But Leann did. She believed in God, believed that dying was just an inevitable next step in a long journey. Toward the end, she welcomed death, even if she was beginning t...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] “June 10th, 1972. The crop is looking better this year than ever. I believe I have this whole gardening process down pat now. I think I may need to expand my icebox this winter, as it’s looking like I’ll have too many vegetables to eat on my own. Between the produce I’ll be able to freeze and the game I expect to hunt this summer, I should be even better prepared for w...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] I—I found her diary. And it…well, it feels wrong, it is wrong to read it, but I’ve done a lot of wrong things to survive, and this feels like just another for the pile. She didn’t write in it very often, at least not after 1969. There are some entries before the incident, just mundane life stuff that I didn’t do much more than skim. It isn’t relevant and I don’t want t...
