REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S03EP05
Episode 5: The Shot – A bad year. A bad everything. Only one thing to do.
Following the fun of doing a flash fiction version of the podcast as A.P. Fuchs had done during Season One, this episode is the same: One big whirlwind of brief story with a punch to the face in the end.
How do you make a podcast show that’s around five minutes long and make it interesting? This is another effort from Fuchs to do so. Did he succeed? Listen and decide for yourself then let him know in the comments.
Enjoy!

We have a great season in store for you with another huge chunk of stories. This season we’re going back to FLASH ATTACK, each episode containing one piece of flash fiction for your amusement and entertainment. We’ll be covering superheroes, horror, monsters, and everything in between.

No, this isn’t an explanation for the story you’re about to hear. Instead, we’re going to look at stories in general, why they’re important, and why we as a species need them.
So tune in, relax, and let’s have some Story Time.
Welcome to Season Three.
