Ep 17: Nightfall
Explicit content warning
10/16/24 • 31 min
Night approached, and clouds strangled the moon, cloaking Ezekiel in darkness, making the encroaching night feel all the more sinister. It was a darkness that felt unnatural, with no glint of star or stirring of wind. Eerily quiet is what it was. Torches, lanterns, and fireplaces came to light as night fell, illuminating the town in spots of golden yellow, like a tapestry of stars.
Beyond the town's lights, the world was cast in darkness so profound it seemed to swallow sound itself.

Podcast Summary:
The year is 1874, and no children walk the cobbled streets of Murkwood, Texas. For going on two decades, they had been haunted and stolen into the night. Leaving behind nothing more than the sacrificial remains of their parents. The Sacrifice three. The blood of the Mother, the blood of the Father, and the Child. That is what was needed for them to become something cursed...a Whisper, lost on the wind. And with each loss, the town of Murkwood came closer and closer to the darkness hidden below. The lifeblood slowly draining from the town. Another sacrifice given to the unholy thing that is the Reverent Sun.
Long-standing between the dark things of the world is the Clan, made up of Foxkeys and Walkers. People with the power to hold back the dark tide itself. They are the final shield standing between the demons of the West and humanity.
Vera Fowley, once Vera Foxkey, was mother, widow, and homeless. What she most decidedly was not was a witch. Chased by the ghosts of her past from St.Louis into the wild west of Texas, she must face her family's legacy to save her daughter and, more importantly, the world from a whole new existence filled with demons and monsters.
She must face the secrets of her past to discover the power within.

A Word to our Listeners
Greeting to you, kin, clan, and our loyal supporters. We at The Hill Sisters Productions have something we’d like to share with you. A disclaimer, if you like.
You see, We are fully aware that we are playing characters that are not of our age, race, gender, sexuality, and occasionally species. We are not black, native, Asian, or male, but we are two Hispanic sisters with an idea and the tenacity to try and achieve it despite our limited budget. With that in mind, we would like you to think of us as you would an audiobook with a limited cast.
Every episode we do takes over ten hours to make, and that’s a massive amount of time to ask anyone to volunteer for without pay, which is what we do, and happily. We do this project with any spare cash we might have. Unfortunately, that means we do not have the means to hire additional actors. We hope you will forgive us for this. We are merely trying to portray the world in all its beautiful colors and variety to the best of our ability despite our limited means.
We do our best to be respectful and if we do anything offensive, please know it is not done with malicious intent. Contact us and we will do our best to rectify the problem. If you know of any quality voice actors willing to volunteer their time for this podcast, feel free to drop us an email with their contact details as well as their voice acting reel. We are always looking to expand our podcast to be the best.
In the meantime, please do us a favor so that we can start earning a little money to achieve our goals. Rate us five stars, subscribe, and share us.

Ep 18: The Caravan
Traveling onward, the Fowley family wagon became one of many—a caravan made up of a multitude of men, women, and young adults, all chasing the same destination. Murkwood, it would seem, had become quite popular in the years between Vera's youth and adulthood.
The travelers brought their every worldly possession —plows and tools of the trade, houseware, and livestock—tossed up on wagons or carts or even on the shoulders—anything and everything a person could need or would need to survive.
If what they were doing was considered "surviving," The gathered people were thin and frail, some injured, others not. Whatever energy was left in them appeared to be used to put one foot in front of the other. Altogether, they made a sorry-looking group.
Dirt-covered and grief-stricken, It came as no surprise how easily the Fowleys mixed into the crowd. Why, if you didn’t know any better, you’d think they, too, had been through hell.
