The V22 Podcast

Original- https://youtu.be/RN-o9Ay29gE Bakari’s voice crackles in my ear. “Sir… how is that even possible? It looks like us. Almost human.” I’ve seen horrors. Interdimensional anomalies that screamed entropy and broke reality just by existing. But this? This shakes me.

Original- https://youtu.be/nZHvyrK_t5Q Being inside the St Joseph penitentiary exposed me to a variety of characters. Bold posers who were swiftly humbled, innocent people in difficult situations, those who were attempting to make the best of a bad situation and finally, the cold-blooded killers who belonged in a place like this.

Original- https://youtu.be/EoRR8AHCIDQ “Your Gram always said you’d be tall.” My throat would hurt and his shiny eyes would swim. Whenever we left, I’d hug grandpa. He didn't hug back, his old, weather-beaten skin losing its elasticity and slumping on his wasted muscles and bones. It taught me that death was not just sudden but also slow.

Original- https://youtu.be/ki1-lvn0KX0 Directly above her, from the darkened marsh ceiling, Sole’s mouth hummed a song she recognized with involuntary precision. A familiar tune, one much more effective against her than the very world’s inversion.   'Oh, God, ' those words escaping before she could intervene. And all the roses died a silent death in the dark once again. My Spotify: https://open.sp...

Original- https://youtu.be/kgzpJ50ryvI I just want to preface this by stating that once this story has been told, there will be no followups. I will do my best to answer any questions in the comments but there will be no further updates, no sudden revelations, no continuation of this story. What is done is done and what will happen is unavoidable. My Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wXzsnnD...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB7KUU6UVZI That night I had a terrible dream. In the dream I was trapped in a thick, dark forest. Every direction I looked was unfamiliar to me. The woods felt suffocating, as though the forest itself was pressing against my lungs. And then all at once from nowhere and everywhere a mocking laughter shook the ground, as a dark mist consumed me in shadow. M...

None of what you read is conjecture on my end, nor is it embellished. I will also warn you that some of the content may be considered horrific and should be tread lightly.

Original- https://youtu.be/AkWGqQt8t20 Aspects of the Marrow house range from obscene to sickening, depending entirely upon which angle of the lawn you view it from. Some sides of the house may incur only a vague sense of nausea, others may incite a rage so great it drives one into a frenzy. Of the builder, I know painfully little. But of his wretched depiction of Babel, I know more than I wish to...

Original- https://youtu.be/d3zX36zDaRQ Seventy meters. The blinking red dot on the gauntlet screen pulsed in rhythm with the beeping in his earpiece - steady and insistent, cutting through the downpour that thundered somewhere far above the tunnel. Each ping only served to remind him how stagnant these past minutes have been. He flicked his eyes from the tracker to his wristwatch. 05:08. He’d been...

Original- https://youtu.be/WxluyUUnP44 If you spend enough time in the military, you become privy to this reality. Some learn the hard way; most however, only get glimpses of it in after action reports. Often too proud or ignorant to even put the pieces together. I, however, have never been a lucky man.  My Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wXzsnnDVBpe3i00aL253p   A HUGE thank you to all my...

Original- https://youtu.be/qQ1Fno07CnY I’ve always considered myself to be a good dad.  Patient, understanding, a good communicator, and strict but fair, that’s how I wanted to be with my own boy as he grew up. It’s never that simple though, is it? You always have this image in your mind of how it’ll be when you’re idly thinking about fatherhood or seriously thinking about with your partner, but w...

Original- https://youtu.be/Y-DWZ0zUX-M Ozgood took a cautious step toward the door. He attempted to push it open, but he was immediately met with resistance. He then positioned his forearm against the barrier and gave it a forceful shove. The door still put up a fight, but with a little effort he was able to create enough of an opening for us to fit through. With the space cleared, he took a step...

Original- https://youtu.be/-9w2TZJ9sVg I watched a guy come wandering down the street and stopping underneath that light, looking up at it. He raised his hand to shield his eyes. He seemed to be a bit out of it, so maybe he just didn’t register what the hell he was looking at. Then, the streetlight went out, just minutes after first spotting it. I blinked, adjusting my eyes. There was no man there...

Original- https://youtu.be/swjYzRIN56E As surprising as this news was to our parents, I kinda already saw this coming. After all, not only was Steve the toughest S.O.B. but he always seemed to watch the same old war movies over and over – especially the ones in Vietnam. Well, keeping true to his word, Steve did in fact enlist – and for the next few months, our family rarely heard from him. My Spot...

Original- https://youtu.be/K_kap9LzPQk Imagine that feeling of helplessness in front of a stranger and then compound the grief by tenfold when it’s your entire world and you’ve just gotten home from work to find them writhing on the ground for the seventh time this year.  My Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wXzsnnDVBpe3i00aL253p   A HUGE thank you to all my patreons and members for making t...

Original- https://youtu.be/HzvgugMCB30 The USS Morgan was a Gleaves-class destroyer that went missing and was presumed lost in 1943. Given the war and its duties patrolling the Atlantic hunting U-boats and Italian submarines this wasn't seen as a great surprise and was chalked up to enemy action. No one claimed responsibility for sinking it, but again that’s not unheard of. For most people, even h...

Original- https://youtu.be/ul-nX-p4E6I “It’s easy to get lost in these woods, that’s why I always carry a map. Don’t wanna get caught somewhere you don’t recognise in the middle of the night. There’s.. Things out in this park, Alex.” Her gaze turned ice cold and a shiver ran up and down my spine.  My Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wXzsnnDVBpe3i00aL253p   A HUGE thank you to all my patreon...

Original- https://youtu.be/68Zq9wG_TJE I don’t think this is happening because of anything I did or my family did. I didn’t mess with anything I shouldn’t have, didn’t go looking for answers, didn’t trespass or open the wrong door. If there’s a reason this started, I don’t know what it is yet. That is what bothers me the most. My Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wXzsnnDVBpe3i00aL253p   A HU...

Original- https://youtu.be/FbIvaN4BR54 Dan asked if I was ready to take the next step, and join their church. I felt the entire church lean in expectantly. Doe told me they had all done it, and everyone smiled. They asked me to fill the divot with my blood.

Original- https://youtu.be/oj2NG8htsFc Any resident of Point Pine knows that the Oaks are anything but normal, however. For starters, no one ever decides to move in. If people want an apartment, they have to go all the way to the opposite side of town where the apartment complex is. You see, people don’t move into the Oaks, they just kind of appear.

Original- https://youtu.be/TipQ7vZlzK8 This story is in the same universe as The Yearwalker. If you are not yet caught up- here is that introductory story! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEp6T-YTGO8&t=7241s When they said the town of Tomskog was unlike anything else, this was what they were talking about. It wasn’t just some hick town in the middle of nowhere, it was a place where the rules w...

Original- https://youtu.be/mUvmrlEeFx0 The angel wants to be inextricably entwined to me. It gave me visions of emerald pastures and thick vines to signify our love. It offered me an apple that it referred to as temptation. The angel has both many names and none at all. Its moniker tastes like holy caramel on my tongue. Its title feels like ascension when I give the time and reflection to echo. I...

Original- https://youtu.be/P7cvehHXyQE “And nobody ever found out what happened to them?” “That’s where the story gets stranger. In the late 1980s, this picture was posted to a BBS conspiracy board. It shows an angel lying on an operating table in some kind of medical lab.” Reid opened the picture. The angel looked just like Chazaqiel. His head was shaved, his wings had been mutilated, and his fle...

Original- https://youtu.be/SsV9gzlUsMw While I regained the little strength I had left, already feeling the cold seep into my bones, I continued to stare out the window towards the ice – where, with blurry, unfocused eyes... I began to see the ice move... A section of clumped ice mass seemed to be moving directly towards me – towards the capsule... But something about it almost seemed... organic.....

Original- https://youtu.be/iiZDGq78wD8 A loud crack and I jumped, suddenly there was a burst of heavy rain from the sky, and drops of acid fell. An older woman put up her hands to protect her face with a horrific screech only for her hands to receive the same treatment. It burned black, sizzling down until her bones were exposed and I wasn't going to wait around. My Spotify: https://open.spotify.c...
