The Ex-Wife: Phonic Fiction Fest 2022 Entry This was my entry for the Phonic Fiction Fest 2022.  This challenge required entrants to create a fictional podcast drama episode within 48 hours after being given a genre, a line of dialogue, and a sound effect.  Everyone received the same line of dialogue and sound effect, but three different genres were dispersed among the entrants at random.  I received Horror-Noir.  This entry is essentially a side-story giving a little backstory into the overall mythos of The Dark Ride.  Or does it? Please go to https://phonicfictionfest.com/ to read more about this challenge and listen to the other incredible entries, all of whom are better than mine.  I strongly recommend 'Emet' which swept many categories, and is one of the best things you will ever put in your earholes.   Music by ASTROFREQ from Pixabay Produced, written, performed, edited, and everything else by Justin Dark for This Is A Dark Production Company, All Rights Reserved 2022.  Sound effects from the wonderful artists at Pixabay, certificates on hand.
