A carnival comes to the tree's park, but weird flyers with some kind of melon on them have been appearing, too,

That's it for this season, folks. I'm closing down for the school year. I'll be back next June-ish with some more stories, and it's possible there will be some bonus stuff when I have time.

A pie seller comes to the farmer's market in the tree's park.

One more next week, and then we're on break for the school year.

After "The Tree" series, I'm going to need to wind this podcast down to get ready for the school year and my new kid. I'll try to post more episodes when I have time, but this may have to become a podcast that has a new season each summer.

To be clear, this isn't the end. There will be two more podcasts to finish out the current batch of four, and I'll be back at the very least next summer. But after "The Tree", that may be it until the next school year is over.

The tree gets excited for an upcoming show in its park to break the long, hot, still monotony of summer.

A volcano watches the developing society on its island, trying not to obliterate them with an eruption.

I created another solo RPG for the Wretched & Alone game jam, and this one I can actually post a live-play of! In this game, you are literally a volcano and you use story prompts to build a society and help your inhabitants react to changes on the island.

I'm really proud of how this one came out. You can check out the game here:

A red and white tree is having a boring day, but the seasons are changing.


Welcome to another set of stories; I'm calling these "The Tree" for a reason that will become quite obvious once you start listening.

A clown tries his hand at stand-up comedy. It doesn't go well.


This one isn't especially noir-y, I suppose, but the walk home is exactly how I remember walking home late at night in the city. I like how that part came out.
