Ch. 05 Where There's Smoke - Pt 7
Dear Listener,
Surprises abound with having faced off against cultists. A quick rescue and a short sharp instruction ot leave before the same, the group hunker down for the night before a planned early start. During the night, Helena attempts to console Ralph and offer an olive branch to Sully. Which do you think has the better chance of working out?
I guess you're about to find out.
Thank you to Jay for voicing James!

About the Writer: Connor Bushoven is an artist, voice actor, and writer from the East Coast who has always loved the art of storytelling in all its forms. As a 3D artist, he's worked on feature films including Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) and The Lion King: Mufasa's Journey (2024). It was his love of storytelling that got him into the world of audio fiction, and he has recently started branching out into new genres. "The Body is a Temple" is the first horror story he's published and was inspired by the idea of the strange and grotesque things that could be sharing our spaces and lurking just out of view. https://www.cbushovenart.com/
