Episode 8 -- The Long Walk Back
from Whispers in Green Static Hosted by Geordie Rose
There's a particular sound the world makes when you're not in charge of your own body anymore, and it's mostly other people's breathing. I want to be clear that I didn't choose to notice this. Unconsciousness at zero should be a clean cut — signal drops to the noise floor, nothing on the meters. It wasn't. Somewhere below the threshold where I stopped being a person and became cargo, the room kept transmitting, and I kept receiving, and I have no category for that, and it bothers me more than the goblins ever did. I came up in pieces. Chain mail creaking directly above me — that forward-placed rasp of interlocked rings, torque and release, a man's shoulder taking weight it didn't want. Brennos. I was slung over it.
