Speaker: Greetings, minions, and welcome to the 11th hour of the fourth month of 2024.
Speaker: Today, we listen to a short, sharp, shock episode from the mind of Julie Hoverson.
Speaker: Julie has been a stalwart of the audio drama community for a decade and a half.
Speaker: She's the driving force behind 19 Nocturne Boulevard, an award-winning anthology audio drama series that began way back in 2008.
Speaker: Julie's not just a prolific creator, but a voice actor as well.
Speaker: You've probably heard Julie in one of her own creations that you can find at www.19nocturneboulevard.net.
Speaker: Or perhaps you've heard Julie's voice in fan favorites like Campfire Radio Theater and Edict Zero FIS.
Speaker: If this is your first introduction to Julie's work, then you're in for a treat.
Speaker: This short, sharp shock gives plenty of Twilight Zone vibes.
Speaker: So grab your spirit board and get ready for Please, Ouija, Please.
Speaker: 19 Nocturne Boulevard presents Short Sharp Shocks.
Speaker: Everything's fine in here.
Speaker: The boys have been fractious tonight.
Speaker: They keep claiming they have to go home.
Speaker: These senile cases, at least they aren't the type to play grabsies like frat boys.
Speaker: I'd hate for any of our oldies to get out and go missing like those kids from over the hill.
Speaker: I know.
Speaker: Who knows what could be happening to the poor little things.
Speaker: Oh, Claire.
Speaker: Do you see the boys?
Speaker: Psst.
Speaker: There they are.
Speaker: Stay close, Winnie.
Speaker: stole these from the orderly.
Speaker: You could've got caught.
Speaker: A. B. I was watching his back.
Speaker: C. D. E. If anyone came, I was gonna fake a seizure or something.
Speaker: F. G. At least till Eddie got clear.
Speaker: H. I. Um.
Speaker: J. K. L. Right.
Speaker: M. N. I couldn't find anything like a reader thing.
Speaker: A planchette.
Speaker: O. P. Yeah, one of those.
Speaker: But maybe this one.
Speaker: Q. R. We don't want to take any chances.
Speaker: S. Not again.
Speaker: But this.
Speaker: I found this magnifying glass.
Speaker: It can circle letters.
Speaker: They use a little drinking glass in the movies.
Speaker: V. W. X. There's no time to go get anything else.
Speaker: And they'd lock up the dining hall.
Speaker: We can all touch the edges of the magnified.
Speaker: I see.
Speaker: It's big enough.
Speaker: There.
Speaker: Now put yes and no.
Speaker: And goodbye.
Speaker: Never forget goodbye.
Speaker: Goodbye.
Speaker: See?
Speaker: That's awfully noisy.
Speaker: Are you sure they won't hear?
Speaker: I don't think so.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: You always agree with Griswold.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: There.
Speaker: What?
Speaker: We better start.
Speaker: Who knows when they'll stop.
Speaker: We're all gone.
Speaker: Circle up.
Speaker: We all got to touch this.
Speaker: Who starts?
Speaker: Grizz did it before.
Speaker: He has to again.
Speaker: Do you remember who to call?
Speaker: Shh.
Speaker: We are here to call on the spirits.
Speaker: Are there any here?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: I didn't.
Speaker: Shh.
Speaker: Go on, Grizz.
Speaker: We need to speak to the spirit we found before.
Speaker: The one name... It's moving.
Speaker: Spelling something.
Speaker: U-M-A.
Speaker: Shh.
Speaker: Don't say it if you don't have to.
Speaker: I wasn't saying it.
Speaker: I was... Shh.
Speaker: It was the same name I was watching.
Speaker: Me too.
Speaker: Are you here?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Please let us go home.
Speaker: Shh.
Speaker: You know it's not that easy.
Speaker: We want to reverse what happened.
Speaker: Can we do that?
Speaker: Yes!
Speaker: How?
Speaker: Ask how.
Speaker: How can we reverse it?
Speaker: K?
Speaker: I. L. No.
Speaker: Who?
Speaker: Who do we have to keep?
Speaker: Anyone.
Speaker: How many?
Speaker: How many total?
Speaker: What?
Speaker: I don't want to get fooled again.
Speaker: Is it one for all of us or one each?
Speaker: I can't.
Speaker: Only one.
Speaker: We have to or we'll be here forever.
Speaker: And forever ain't going to last very long.
Speaker: I want to go home.
Speaker: Don't you, Winnie?
Speaker: I... I... Yes.
Speaker: I want Mommy.
Speaker: Do we all have to help?
Speaker: Or can you handle it, Grizz?
Speaker: Me?
Speaker: I'll ask.
Speaker: Who needs to do the killing?
Speaker: You make it say it clear.
Speaker: If I do it, kill someone.
Speaker: Will that count for all of us so we can go home?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: I... I can help.
Speaker: I got us into this.
Speaker: But Edgar made the wish.
Speaker: What?
Speaker: You are the one who said we all wanted to be older.
Speaker: Never mind.
Speaker: Let's get it over with.
Speaker: Don't forget to say goodbye.
Speaker: Goodbye.
Speaker: Breaking news tonight is the fire at the Ronson Eldercare facility that claimed three lives.
Speaker: No details at this time as to the cause of the conflagration.
Speaker: More as the story develops.
Speaker: In other more pleasant news, four young siblings who have been missing in the Ronson area for almost two weeks have mysteriously found their way home.
Speaker: I'm sure we all wish them the best.
