#TheOtherStories

presents...

KEZ'S CHRISTMAS ADVENT CALENDAR!

We gathered 12 writers from the H&C community and let them dip their hands into our Secret Santa bucket. From the bucket each writer pulled out a word, and from that word, they were asked to write and narrate a very, very short story.

Today’s word was… tree.

And the story is What’s It All Fir?.

Written and narrated by Daniel Willcocks (https://danielwillcocks.com)

With evil Christmas music by Duncan Muggleton (https://temporalrecordings.wordpress.com)

Along with a seasonal spin on the original The Other Stories theme by Thom Robson (https://www.thomrobsonmusic.com/).

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
