This episode ends with the conclusion of A Christmas Serial. Parts 1-3 were featured in Episodes 69-71. A Christmas Serial is written and read by Kris Baker Dersch and the current version is copyright 2015.

The version of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" featured on this episode is by the U.S. Marine Corps Band. It is in the public domain and comes to us courtesy of the Free Music Archive.

Each episode is a complete, self-contained piece of flash fiction, with every story crafted to be under two thousand words.

The podcast lives up to its name, offering narratives that are precise and potent, leaving room for your own imagination to linger in the spaces between the words. It’s for anyone who appreciates the art of a well-told story and the unique intimacy that audio can bring to fiction. Tune in for a regular dose of concise creativity, a moment of literary escape that fits into the busiest of days.
