September thirtieth.

This is MissMeliss, the Bathtub Mermaid, and you’re listening to Tales from the Tub.

Okay, you’re not listening, because this is my blog, but you SHOULD be listening.  Even better, subscribe to my patreon and you’ll get early access to regular episodes, plus monthly extras.

Anyway…

Tomorrow begins something a little different. It’s called Mirror, Mirror, a story cycle told in thirty-one short monologues. Each piece stands alone, but together they trace a thread through the month.

You’ll hear a variety of voices and characters — students, workers, people in ordinary places — each telling a small story. Some are unsettling, some strange, some a little sad. Every few episodes I’ll step back in as the narrator, either tying things together or letting the mirrors speak in chorus.

This isn’t a series of jump scares or sound effects. It’s meant to be simple: one voice at a time, one reflection at a time. If you listen  (or read) straight through, you’ll hear a shape emerge. But you can also drop in anywhere, and the story you hear will still make sense on its own.

So this is your invitation. Mirror, Mirror starts tomorrow, and it will carry us through the month. I hope you’ll stay with me.
