PodCastle 072: The Exit Sign
by Ursula Pflug.
Read by Christiana Ellis.
You and I were different. Making love on sprawling landings we learned that one way of life wasn’t better than another, and that we all shared the same ultimate misery, doomed to be born and die in this building. Who’d made this place? Had we built it ourselves generations ago when we still had legs to run from something fierce and predatory that circled our tower, waiting for travellers: the jumpers, the fliers, those with the twisted bed sheet ropes?
Rated R. for sex and dismemberment in enclosed places.
