CONTENT WARNING:

Please be advised, today’s episode is particularly gruesome. It borders on extreme horror and includes the death of a child. If that isn’t for you, no worries, feel free to skip out on this episode, and join us for a new dark tale next week.

97.1 Mine

A woman in the aftermath of betrayal focuses her intense pain on a young couple and, seeking to embody the very thing she was denied, finds a horrific way to covet them.
