Rish Outcast 316: Door Number Three 2

 

 ...and the story continues. Here I present the 2025 portion of the story "Door Number Three," written after considering the original ending unsatisfying/unsatisfactory.

Afterward, I'm including the original second half of the first episode, where I talk about what I would do differently if I wrote the tale now (ultimately redundant, since I went ahead and did it). Sorry(ish).

Rish Outcast 315: Door Number Three 1

 

Rish shares a story from many years ago about a babysitter that discovers a new door in the hallway. It was meant to be a single episode, way back in March or April . . . but then it mutated.

Just like your sister-in-law.

Rish Outcast 314: The Factory of Fear

 

Happy Belated Halloween (I had intended to put out this one at the end of October, and I never hit Publish . . . sorry)!

Rish shares an experience from 2024 of attending The Fear Factory, an elaborate haunted house with his aunt and cousins. Spoiler: he makes it out alive.

Note: Since this was recorded a year ago, a lot of it is as new to me as it is to you. Funny that senility has an upside.
