Solo Horror Serial Audio Drama
Synopsis:
Welcome to the fully-automated world of Solace. A prison ran and monitored by the AI "WARDEN." However, not everything is as it seems. Each episode in this sci-fi/horror series will unveil more secrets and terrible details the inmates are forced to confront. All told through Warden's point of view. Meant to be both episodic and serialized, Solace is an experimental concept I've been playing around with. I hope you enjoy.

What if the treatment is worse than the disease? What if the treatment is the disease? Either way it must be tested in a double-blind placebo study at some point. Æthion Labs is a proud innovator of such treatments, though side effects may be stranger than expected.

"Nyctophobia" is the primal fear of the dark. Its origins may be evolutionary. What begins as a simple task—changing a light bulb—quickly unravels into a deeper mystery. A light in the black offers no guarantee of clarity, but there are creatures that never yielded to this fear. They may hold the key to a hidden truth. The only thing we truly need to fear may be the darkness itself.

How old are you now? Is it a number or simply a state of mind? Does it even matter in the slightest? While celebrating a very special asset's birthday, Warden ruminates on a variety of these ideas in this episode. Not sure the asset appreciates this interruption on his special day, but Warden remains uninterested in the concerns of the urge-prone.

A simple bit of gardening can turn so intensely horrific in Solace. This one was quite the thorn in my side to get done. Pardon the pun.
Apologies are in order, as I kept running into increasingly confusing audio problems coupled with a sore throat. Perhaps, I could use some herbal therapy myself. Hope you enjoy regardless.
