I never thought this was how getting my radio license back in my college days would come in handy. I didn't really use it much before because I was always scared of accidentally breaking some FCC rule and getting chased down by the government. Of course, there isn't really much of a government to enforce anything now so... here I am. I'm sure they had better things to do than go after a college student anyway, but I've always been one to avoid jumping into things without first being reasonably certain of the outcome. I often wonder how much I've missed out on because of that: the things I could have done, places I could've seen, people I could have talked to. What does alternate timeline me look like? We can't change the past and I don't want to, but that doesn't stop us from wondering, does it? I'm kind of inspired by your trip to try out a bit of travel myself though. I've never gone on a solo road trip anywhere, but from the transmissions I caught the Grand Canyon sounded nice. And I'm pretty sure it still exists in this timeline, so maybe that'd a be a good first stop.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What do you mean we got to almost every planet? What do you mean, everybody vanished? What do you- what do you mean that you're away from Earth? Are you- are you radioing from another planet? Are you on drugs? I mean, I want to believe that we are telling me is real. But I need so much more detail. But even if you're just somebody having a laugh at me, I know that tonight I'm going to be looking up at the stars and wondering if somebody is out there, like, truly out there. I mean, can you imagine being able to look out at the sky and knowing that there are people above your head? That would be...I hope that there is a timeline out there in which that happens. I hope that that happens in the future, I hope- I just hope we get out there. How extraordinary that would be. So please, if you're not messing around with me, tell me more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Well, I know. We got to all the planets in the solar system, well almost all of them.

What a. ..what a difficult word. I'm having one of those days where it's a little bit hard to be grateful to be where I am, to be alive in this empty, endless existence. I keep thinking back to what Birdie said, what I think Birdie said, and how maybe there's a way to fix this, to get out of this, to get back, to make the right decision to to merge things. And there's just too many possibilities. There's too many roads to take that could be right. And I could spend the rest of eternity trying to find the right one. And I just, I don't know that I have the energy. But what you said, that idea that maybe someone else did something to give you the universe that you live in now, the one that's good and happy and full of people that you love. That's comforting. So thank you. And I, I hope whatever universe I left, whatever branching timeline I left behind in my wake, I hope it's good for someone.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Though, by this point, I think I've got it down."Although this political and social timeline is bashing the guardrails, threatening to jump the tracks at every moment....This timeline for me personally is better than I deserve. I'm not certain whether it's my wife, my kids, my broader family, or good friends - but someone has earned a forked instance of this universe that brings me joy on the regular, and for which I experience tremendous gratitude."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
BREAKER WHISKEY is an ongoing, daily microfiction podcast exploring one woman’s journey to find additional survivors in an America made empty by an unknown event in the late 1960s. In 1968, two women find themselves in rural Pennsylvania during what turns out to be some kind of apocalyptic event. By the time they discover that everyone else is gone, it’s too late to figure out what happened. Despite not liking each other at all, the women work together to survive, until six years later one of them sets out on her own, driving around the country to find other survivors. This is her, calling out to anyone who might listen. BREAKER WHISKEY is made by Lauren Shippen and recorded on a 1976 Midland CB Radio.
