The only portion of a story that I could salvage :(
A soft of continuation of Midnight Train to Melinsk. It's the same narrator, but I couldn't finish the story for them, just this portion. I'm only putting it out here because it felt decent enough in isolation.

Blue

In retrospect, I should have chosen another color.
This is best listened to with https://www.buzzsprout.com/811181/episodes/6523558 (Nailed to the Floor) in mind, as this is a continuation of it. But, if you don't go back and listen to it, here's the gist; a guy wakes up to find everything nailed to floor, he searches for the cause, and is horrified to find that the cause is a horde of ordinary people. He then joins the mob in their insanity.
That should be enough context for it to work. Or maybe even that was unnecessary. Everything I do starts in the thick of things, so if you've followed me this long, you're probably acquainted with not knowing what the heck is going on for a while.

Jerri Imal

I apologize once again for tardiness. But the length. Again, these are quite a bit more difficult, but more fun to do on my part. And if it isn't obvious by the imperious tone I gave him, I do not like my narrator character and think his views are quite rancid. It feels kind of irresponsible to have bad narrator characters like this, but hey, I thought about what kind of person this guy would be, and I inevitably came to the conclusion that he would be, well, this.
And if it isn't obvious by the title and the story therein, this is a continuation of https://www.buzzsprout.com/811181/episodes/8874713 , "Jerrimal," narrated by the titular guy who isn't a demon. Just a jerk.

The Pantheon - Monsters in Melinsk

Transcript

Even in the shadows, I could make out that the thing was a good seven feet tall. It shambled about on its limbs as though every move of its muscles made it unsteady, the energy it could provide to its body not nearly enough to combat the ever present lure of gravity. Its mandibles flayed up and about as though only loosely attached to the jaws beneath, indiscriminately lashing out against wooden and stone columns alike. The former it could crush fairly easily, but the second? Even from a full
