The Survivor’s Story

"The Survivor's Story" opens on Christmas Eve, with four couples stranded by a snowstorm in a Springfield hotel, determined to make the best of it. What follows is a gleeful chain of wildly absurd tall tales — a reporter who ghostwrote Webster's most famous line, a schoolmistress who sabotaged the Confederacy through arithmetic, a governess whose pupils came to ruin — each more outrageously deadpan than the last. The evening culminates in a Christmas tree and a catastrophe that leaves only one narrator alive to tell the tale.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
