I enjoy listening to podcasts (and, hey! Thanks for listening to this one. Tell a friend.) and 99% Invisible is one of my top ten listens. Always packed full of amazing content. Hats off y'all.
On their episode "Nukes" they tell the story of Roger Fisher, a man amongst many things, including implanting codes to a nuclear bomb by the heart of an American citizen. That way, for the President to launch a nuke, they will have to kill this innocent civilian to get the launch codes.
Crazy, right? I wonder what sort of story that could be?
This is #flash fiction. A show about writing in real time. I’m your host, Eric M Hunter and I’ve been writing stories since I was a child. There’s a million ways to start a story and you never know how it’s going to turn out. It could be good or it could be really bad. So let’s see what happens.finished, narrated story.
