Slacy has seen the world rise, burn, and rebuild across nine decades. Fascism fell, fusion lit the Earth, and humanity colonized Mars. Now, alone and tired, he lies down in bed, prepared for the end. What more could life offer someone who has already lived through everything?
Thanks for listening! I guess I should read some Phillip K Dick 😅. I haven’t actually. But I have read or seen a lot inspired by his work. In particular, Jon Scalzi. Second hand Dick influence?
Thanks! I hoped I got the "enough to set it up and keep you wanting more" right without actually revealing much or ending on a punchy cliffhanger. That's hard to do in ~1100 words 😅.
So good! And Anthony did a great job with the narration
I had a really great time with this one. And picked up some awesome mixing tips from the good editor.
And it might explain that southern accent talk we had recently. Must have just got stuck in Slacy mode.
Haha, is the accent contagious?
It was great! And the mix was really cool
Thank you! The narration made the story. Now I can't think of Slacy with any other voice, even in my own head.
Cool first chapter and combination with the voice acting!
Welcome to the House of Chapters! Keep an eye open for Story Highlights Week #3.5!
Thanks! Awesome, will keep my eyes open.
Meant to write "keep an eye out" hahahah I'm gonna leave it like that now... but it might be better to go to sleep now.
This is really good. I’m excited to read/listen to more. The music and narration are great!
Thank you!
Listening now, I never listen to audio because I get distracted easily when my eyes aren’t busy too but this is a nice intro
Anthony is a great narrator!
And here I am keeping my eyes occupied anyways by typing comments …. But listening!
Bless you for also including the full text with these, makes it much easier for me to focus 💕
Thanks for reading! I’m a bit the same. If I’m driving or doing chores, I can listen all day because my brain is bored.
But just sitting there listening, I’ll lose focus. Reading and listening at the same time works great.
uh I love this audiobook narration, read the title initially as "the fucks" hah but I am glad I stayed for the rest of it
Haha. Thanks for sticking around and listening. You’ll find out the meaning of “flucks” in chapter 3. Anthony’s narration is awesome.
omg that was so fun!!! I cannot wait to see where it goes from here
Thanks for reading and restacking!
Rad! Im glad to have finally found some time to check this out. Really cool production and the vibes remind me of Phillip K Dick or someone..
Thanks for listening! I guess I should read some Phillip K Dick 😅. I haven’t actually. But I have read or seen a lot inspired by his work. In particular, Jon Scalzi. Second hand Dick influence?
I'm in! Feels good, and original. Compelling story and author voice.
Thank you! Anthony Michael Malec is the narrator and is awesome. He’s been reading a few other stories on Substack, including his own.
your narrative voice is STRONG! this hooked me instantly! i can’t wait to find out more about the flucks
Thanks so much! ☺️
Interesting and humorous! I’m intrigued
🤘🏻
"Hello! Am I in Hell?" The way he said it was great. Really cool project. Love the audio format. Gives it a whole different feel.
Thanks! Anthony has been amazing with the narration.
Yooooo this is goooooood :D invested!!!
Deleiri: INVESTAAAAADDDD!!!
Antony did a great job, as always, and wow, love the music 😍
Thanks! Yes, I love Anthony's Slacy performance and Jan's music.
Okay, you've got my attention! Fascinating start ❤️
Thanks! I hoped I got the "enough to set it up and keep you wanting more" right without actually revealing much or ending on a punchy cliffhanger. That's hard to do in ~1100 words 😅.
Very hard indeed! I’m gonna listen to the audio later as it sounds great ❤️
This is so cool!! I love a dystopian… uh or in this case utopian? Haha I am so excited for this to continue. And dang that narration is soooo good.
Thanks! Utopian-dystopian?? We’ll see 🫣 Yeah, @Anthony Michael Malec did an awesome job.
Thanks! I think it will be Flucks Thursdays just to fuck with everyone’s alliteration affection.
I can’t help but be sarcastic in the face of despair.
