Bonus Episode 1: "Bruisetown"

This is Drabbletober, the podcast of tiny fiction.Hello, and welcome to Drabbletober. This is an occasional bonus episode, released because I felt like it. I'm Elizabeth Guilt.Your one-hundred word story for the day is: Bruisetown.The town probably had a name on the map, but everyone called it Bruisetown. Its residents were pallid; blue stains across their cheeks, bruises ringing their necks and wrists and sullen eyes. Linger too long on the road, and mottled grey crept across the backs of your hands. Even the sea had a stewed, purple-green tinge. Occasionally, someone made it out. They would win every bareknuckle fight for miles, taking punch after punch, then collect their prizes and go right back to Bruisetown. Even stumbling from the ring, they'd stare at our unmarked faces, eyes full of nothing but pity.---Recently, I had to do some audio editing, and discovered I couldn't remember how to do even the basics. I thought I'd better put together a Drabbletober episode, just to check I could remember how. If you're listening to this, I guess I did?---Take care, everyone, and I'll see you again sometime.https://www.elizabethguilt.com/drabbletober/march28bonus
