Sinopse
Away with words. Good riddance - no one reads anymore anyway. This is a verbal quest for immortality. Kristofer Velasquez is a writer, director, producer, teacher, and father who has chosen this podcast as a way to create a collection of musings - sometimes creatively written, other times just curiously spoken - that might outlive him. From original fiction to commentary on everything from horror and science fiction, to writing and creativity, to technology and philosophy. Maybe this is a way to speak to his children after he's gone. Maybe there's a way ... with words.

"Grow Fonder" A Short Story by Kristofer Velasquez
25/08/2018 Duração: 33minThe only thing that separates astronaut Regina Brice from her 12-year-old daughter is distance. Unfortunately that space is filled with an extraterrestrial catastrophe that threatens the very existence of the planet. Whether or not distance makes the heart grow fonder becomes a curious notion, as Regina shuttles back down to earth amidst an invasion that sends Izzy Brice fleeing for her life with a few classmates. Can a mother’s yearn to close the distance gap save their lives from an alien onslaught? Or will the only thing to grow be the peril to all of humanity?
