Dear reader, if you’re here, then you wondering where on Earth (or alternative versions of such) this story is going. What kind of tale could even progress from such an odd setup?

It’s Magic Systems All The Way Down

Civilized: Improv Sci-Fi Fun
Civilized is a first for me as a reviewer: it’s an improvisational podcast. Meaning the actors are just playing off each other. And as such, I can’t really judge it on its plot progression.

If you could wish for anything, dear reader, what would it be? And, more importantly, how would you phrase that wish to avoid it backfiring?
Friday Fiction: Glitched
