The V22 Podcast

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-a0AkwE_eo I’ve always been a creature of habit. Wake up at 5:30 AM, brew a pot of black coffee strong enough to strip paint, and head out to whatever dead-end job pays the bills. For the past six months, that job has been at Oceanic Delicacies, a sprawling warehouse on the outskirts of Port Haven, a foggy coastal town in Maine where the air always smells...

"Hopefully not a cult." We passed fields and forests, the headlights cutting through an increasingly lonely road, the kind where you started to forget you were even part of the world anymore. It was Leah who first pointed...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cee-YlBieEs “Most of my childhood was spent in the same 20 square miles of forest, somewhere in the Appalachian wilderness. I lived there with my mom in this cabin she claims to have built with her own two hands. I believed her for a while, though now, I’m fairly certain she just found an abandoned cabin and fixed it up as best she could.” My Spotify: http...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLEhnzG6hxQ My doctor, a harried woman with a distracted smile, called them "pressure contusions." "Like someone rested a heavy, narrow object on you for an extended period," she’d said, tapping her pen against my chart. "In your sleep, perhaps?" I didn’t have any heavy, narrow objects. I had a bed, a duvet, and the suffocating proximity of the walls. The...

You may be wondering where you are, and what’s going on.” She explained, in a neutral, yet comforting tone. “You have been given the rare opportunity to better your current circumstances. We at Serastreaus Recruitment have partnered up with Umbralith Holdings, to conduct the interview process for the position of CEO. Due to...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK8O5g2BPKc I’ve been a nurse for fourteen years. I’ve seen addicts rip out IVs and men twice my size foam at the mouth, but what Emma said shook me to my core.  And for the first time in my life, I believed evil might exist.  My Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wXzsnnDVBpe3i00aL253p   A HUGE thank you to all my patreons and members for making this...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSncZ8EXXMk “Clues in the name, bud. The Sirens Call was the original moniker locals gave this place, said it housed something deep in the pit that fed off of those with weak wills. Used the voices of those they loved to entice them in and devour them. Natives said it was an evil spirit and told the authorities to seal the cave off, but of course they neve...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--dnF9e2Fig “Your parents, they comin’?” He asked in a calm, low voice. Rosie shook her head, holding the towel tight against her chest. Sighing, the man sat down on the ground next to Rosie.  “Shit. I mean–” he tried, but Rosie was giggling hysterically already. “You ain’t hear that from me,” he chuckled. The two stayed there a few minutes longer as the m...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVsJUfR5Np4 I know all of you mean well, but I'm getting really tired of being asked about my ascension. I tried to make it clear to you it was a painful subject, but that just seemed to goad you into persisting. I understand that spiritual transcendence sounds like a dream come true, that beholding the face of ultimate reality would give you some sort of...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUsddnCx7Vc “The Haunted Walmart…” his voice trailed off, and my blood ran cold. Everyone in the town had heard the story of that place. It was an abandoned Walmart left to rot on the outskirts of the city. It was a real place, and I had heard ghost stories about it every year since I was a child. Every disappearance or tragedy had been blamed on the place...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY08IciMIVg Not a sound. I mean that in the most literal sense. The wind didn’t move; the trees didn’t speak, not a single blade of grass danced and no dirt was kicked up.  Everything was silent. So silent. My own thoughts were amplified in this void of sound, every inane thought of what could happen flitted through my mind and forced me to double check ev...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1pmYvWLQX4 With shaking hands, I put down the canvas tool bag and dug in it for my key ring. Sirens began to wail in the distance, and I finally managed to force the doors open, leaving the keys in the lock to snatch my aged pistol. “Cindy!” I produced a flashlight with my left hand to hold it beneath my gun, and swept the beam of it over the murky interi...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22YUgrVr5Io Lately, he’d found it harder to settle. Not insomnia exactly, but something slower, more insidious. He would lie awake after midnight and listen to the sea, expecting to hear nothing—but hearing something nonetheless. Not voices. Not music. Just… sequence. An odd cadence to the swells. A rising-and-falling that felt too precise. Like breath. Li...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNkHCO-VAJ4 The story goes that years ago, the harbour master was in debt to something in the sea. People say he made a bargain. He’d lure workers with decent pay and benefits to keep the light going. People that wouldn’t be missed. Drifters. Young lads with no family. Women who couldn’t say exactly where they were going next. It wasn’t a normal job. It’s...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61s5W2d_b9Q "Hey honey.....Yeah... yeah.. I just have to shoot this video with Thomas and Justin and then I'll get back to you. Alright.... alright.... I love you, I'll have them with me. I promise I'll be safe, okay... love you, bye." I said goodbye to my girlfriend and hung up the call, resting my phone on my lap. I suspected she knew I was nervous. My S...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X13dnV3g3s Roy wondered why they didn't react to what he felt. They were facing the parking lot. The nurse's brown eyes were wide and filled with fear over her green mask. "Fine, give the child the phone and see what happens. Make sure it's sanitized first," The doctor said. Again he wondered why no one saw anything. Roy frowned. "What's going on?" The do...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A95kWUjHUjY I placed it on the floor as gently as I could with shaking hands, tossing the box to the side. It rattled amongst the empty blue vodka bottles, and knocked over a tower of beer cans I had built yesterday. I didn’t have any alcohol left in the house. I didn’t usually have “leftovers” anyway, but I did a thorough sweep just in case. When I got th...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z7EXDDb_zI “No one acted funny when he spoke, but I know I stood up straight, hearing it. I was sure that wasn’t my Uncle Frank. I can’t tell you what was different. It was like if a famous celebrity impersonator imitated someone- hard to tell it’s different, but there WAS something different. Everyone else seemed unbothered, going about their morning. Th...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV_Xm9QrjMg “The Fae King, dude. S’bad news.” Sean hissed, like saying those words were enough to trigger a calamity. I remember looking at him stupefied. “The Faking? Faking what?” I asked. He just rolled his eyes. “Nah, dude. Not faking. Fae. King.” Sean spaced it out. “Like, faeries and stuff.” He mumbled. “Faeries? Dude, get real. Just be honest and sa...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLV_upGBj8E Last night, around 2:30 a.m., I got a knock. Not the doorbell. A knock. Light but deliberate. I peered through the frosted glass and saw nothing. Then I opened the door. At my feet was a wicker gate. Not one of the cheap ones. This was old, reinforced with iron bands, and tied shut with thick black cord. No note. No person in sight. The street...

Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyXQXi294ZM   “We were camping in the woods. Yesterday… no, a few nights before. Got caught in the storm. Thought we'd hunker down, ride it out.” He stopped, his jaw tightened. “We heard something,” he said. “Outside the tent. I thought it was wolves. Big ones. We stayed quiet, didn't move, but it didn't matter. They tore through the side.” He swallowed ha...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1fikTsbqAM The North Sea wind lashed across the jagged cliffs as Alden Vexley stepped down from the rattling coach. He was a naturalist and junior member of the Linnaean Society, arriving in the coastal village of Graymere. He was a tall gentleman of 35, bespectacled, with a notebook perpetually in hand and a leather satchel worn smooth from years in the...

Original- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuMzrSp0ke8 Yep. I’m serious. Go back and re-read the title. I’m just as shocked as you probably are. I’m chronicling my story online to maybe give someone else hope, in case they’re also stuck in a situation like I was. I’m speaking to a few people directly when I say: Are you having the same recurring dream? The one that feels way too realistic? It’s not...
