Hey, y'all, I have something special today! Nine months ago my first short story was published, "Casualty of History." Not long after that, I began recording narrations of it, determined to make a radio-play, audio-story or...something along those lines. After being picked up and put down and receiving the trauma of every other form of procrastination, I finally finished...something. Featuring an old recording from my first voice over closet-booth, combined with the text of the story itself and some collage animation skills learned from production of the "Humidified Series," I present to you this multimedia grotesquery. Please watch and enjoy or--if you prefer--just put down your phone or tablet, curl up in a blanket, turn down the lights and give it a listen.

"Casualty of History" was originally published by In Parentheses Magazine, in April 2021, Issue 4, Volume 6. If you would like to read the original copy of this story or any other in its issue, please visit (inparentheses.art).The story text presented in this video has been modified to best fit the narration and screen.
