About this listen

A surreal audio drama about a village caught in a loop it can't remember, a sky without stars, and the strange lives drawn into its orbit. In Gratch Hollow, a dying stranger wakes to the same violent moment again and again. A pig-man named Jon, hulking and powerful, offers comfort to those who need it. The seamstress tells stories of constellations no one has seen. And a young girl named Sara studies equations that could rewire all of time. Many of their truths never happened.

    “Faith festers when it feeds on the faithful.”
    — Brother Halvor

    From the Stitched Chronicles of Gratch Hollow.

    Ilra Wint records a warning she was taught long before she understood it — followed by two letters that explain why she keeps it.

    A son writes with calm conviction about the Constant, about stillness, about sacrifice.
    A father answers with what those words actually cost.

    This is a short archival fragment from What the Pig Promised:
    belief as it sounds, and belief as it behaves.

    Listener discretion advised.
