About this listen

I woke to a mass of men writhing and broken, moving as one in their attempt to reach that great circle of light. They looked like ants, but ants without exoskeletons: their soft bits shredding, their hard bits breaking, to make a sort of chicken-leg jello out of humanity. The cries of pain and cries of triumph mixed.

But one man keeps saying, "2π28.57mm. 2π28.57mm. 2π28.57mm.” Pointing at the circle of light. Claiming he cut it.

Cut what?

And why?

A dark and disturbing insight into the world of Lancelot Shaubert, this horror short story hits all the right notes. It gives you another glimpse into the world the author has created, but like many of the other stories, it works well on its own. We do learn the point of the title and what it means to the unnamed narrator.

The performer is well-matched to the text, adding to the overall feeling of ennui mixed with fatalism that runs through the whole piece.
Recommend

Note: There is an odd quirk with the audio though, the end credits seem to be repeated several times, with no apparent reason (unless that was part of ‘endlessly repeating’ theme!)
