EP103 — Stone In Time

A brilliant young man chases history into the Cambodian jungle — and finds a break in time that turns men to stone. 🎧 A time-travel horror audio drama, narrated by Cade. "Well now... lookit you. Pull on up a chair, friend. Don’t go lookin’ out that window too long—there ain't nothin’ out there but the Great Nothin’." Welcome back to the DEN OF CADE. You’ve traveled a long, weary way to find yourself back on my porch at the final edge of Creation. I’m Cade—watcher, archivist, and the only company you’ve got out here in the dark. I hope you're thirsty, because the silence out here is a heavy thing to swallow alone. Tonight, I’ve got a story about a brilliant young man named DeShawn who thought he was chasin’ history... only to find out history was chasin’ him. We’re goin' deep into the Tonlé Sap, where the green is so thick it chokes the sun, and where a girl named Serey waits with a knife in her hand and five hundred years of secrets in her eyes. It’s a tale of "The Stutter"—a break in time that turns men to stone and relics to ghosts. But be careful what you wish for, friend. Some doors are meant to stay shut, and some people are only lookin' for your light so they can find their own way out. Tonight's Archive Entry: The Summons: A perfect score and a map made of old skin. The Ambush: When the jungle canopy drops and the "Kanak-Te" claim their due. The Blood Debt: A sacrifice of honey-gold skin for an obsidian heart. The 13th Hour: Where the raindrops freeze and the betrayal begins. Sit back. Eat your soup. Let the fire keep the "Stutter" away for a while. 🎵 END THEME — "SO WRONG" by CHAOT Listen on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/so-wrong/1875840258?i=1875840260 Buy on the iTunes Store: https://music.apple.com/us/album/so-wrong/1875840258?i=1875840260&app=itunes Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/6rZfuDHBJUIZXqxW2Sbfxe …and on all major streaming platforms.
