CASUALTY

Author: Steven Richardson April 26, 2024 Duration: 17:19
A short story I wrote after visiting the local hospital seeing and listening to the dead , dying and dementia ridden of society . It's loosely based on two elderly people talking one being slightly care in the community serving coffee and the other a agitated pensioner who'd had rather a bad day there and was feeling heat from all areas including his collar.

Steven Richardson invites you into a quiet corner of storytelling with his Audiobooks podcast. Here, the written word finds its voice directly through its creator. Each episode is a personal journey, featuring one of over forty distinct short stories crafted and narrated entirely by Steven himself. The subjects wander through a wide landscape, ensuring that every visit offers a new scene, character, or idea to contemplate. This isn't a polished studio production, but something more intimate-a direct connection between author and listener. The collection lives comfortably at the intersection of Business and Non-profit, suggesting narratives that might explore enterprise, ethics, community, or the nuanced dramas of everyday professional life. Tuning in means receiving these tales as they were intended to be heard, with all the subtle inflection and personal investment only the original writer can provide. It’s a straightforward offer: a library of original fiction, delivered in audio form, asking only for your ears and imagination. Find a moment, press play, and let a story written by hand and spoken in earnest provide a brief respite or a spark of inspiration.
