Apex Shadow - Episode #01 - A Fear of Flying (Dark Super Hero Audio Drama)
zeddall for Narrator
So this audio drama will feature heavy use of narration. I'm going to try and refine my style over time, so perhaps in the future, we won't need as much of it.

So she's already loaded up on coffee, and her usual amount of spite, and now she's just trying to do her damn job.
Jack has just been to see Michael Pierce. A ten year old boy whose world was shattered when a man calling himself a hero threw a car at a woman seemingly made of concrete. The glass sent flying in the aftermath did irreparable damage to his spine. He may never walk again. Jack desperately wants to encourage him. Give him comfort. But what could he possibly say? He's still trying to figure that out, even now. And all the while, he feels restless. Agitated. Yes-- he wants to help the boy. But what he also wants to do-- really wants to do-- is find that fucking careless prick in the costume, who didn't even notice what he'd done-- take his face in his hands and--
I liked this a lot-- thank you very much for auditioning!
