Surprisingly heartfelt. I enjoyed this a great deal and can guarantee I will listen to it again. I listened to the second story in the series first, but there is no particular order to them. The way the writer, Espach, is able to use this format to elicit such pathos is extraordinary to me.

It would’ve been nice to hear more than one interview and more mattress anecdotes.

Odd Premise Exquisitely Realised

I'm seriously blown away by this short story that packs so much of a person and emotion into such a small, strange package! The concept is amusing, an interview from a car company representative with a dead person, but between the author and the lead performer a wonderful and raw story is elevated into a jaw-dropping audio play that truly hits the mark.

Genuinely one of the best of the many things I've listened to in the Audible Included library.

Bravo!

I've taken an interest in short stories and considered writing more of them - what better way to study them then consume them? At first, I didn't quite understand the premise but overall, I enjoyed the simpleness of the story. The author could have easily turned this into a series of short stories. I have trouble understanding the overall point which is why it only has three stars.
