Toxically Sweet

Sun, 20 Dec 2020 18:06:33 +0000

Trigger Warning: The subject matter of this fictional podcast episode includes teen stalking and teen violence that may be distressing to some.

KIYANA GORDON has finally found a quiet corner to herself. With her recent rise in popularity since establishing a successful YouTube channel, she has felt like her life has been moving 100 miles per hour. Near constant content, keeping up with endorsements, and all of the people that now want to be her “friend”, she’s doesn’t exactly know how to feel. She’s happy that people know who she is and that she’s making money, but her life is starting to feel out of control.

She crept off after fighting her way out of school through a crowd and walked around to the library hoping to catch a break. She is relieved to find that no one is really there and she revels in the moment’s peace, knowing that soon she’ll have to get back to work and back to people. She feels as if she is being watched, but she is most of the time so she just ignores it.

The Target

Fri, 20 Nov 2020 20:41:40 +0000

Welcome as Tales Of The Text Podcast presents “The Target”. Khyree, star high school basketball player, is celebrating a game winning shot when he suddenly is approached by a police officer after becoming a person of interest in the death of his girlfriend Ronnie. Did he do it or is someone else to blame?

Narration Excerpts

Then the door opens, startling Khyree. An officer waves him out of the room. Khyree gets up hesitantly. When Khyree walks out, he sees NIA filling out some paperwork. A rush of relief comes over Khyree.

They drive in silence for what seems an eternity. The music relieves some of the tension, but not much. As they pull up and arrive at Khyree’s home, Nia turns down the music and puts the car in park. Khyree’s attention is fixated on his hands, his breathing is shallow, and he’s trying to compose himself. Nia puts her hand on Khyree’s knee, he is startled by her touch, as he was lost in thought.

The Recording

Sat, 01 Feb 2020 17:58:34 +0000

SHANI, 16-year-old high school student, sits horrified, mind racing only a bit faster than her

heartbeat. She is in an abandoned classroom in the school, listening to her iPad. At only 5 feet

tall, her feet swing off of the ground in the tall stools. She twists her braids in her hand

nervously, feeling glad that she is wearing black. She feels less visible. It is like her worst

nightmare come true. She listens in disbelief, hoping against hope that she is mistaken about

what she heard. But she knows what it is. All over social media are words that she knows

well because they come from her very own recordings. She wants to die.

As she sits dazed, not wanting to listen, but not able to stop, 17-year-old TY comes bursting

into the room. Tall and thin, he is wearing his professional attire for dress to impress day. He

runs his hand across his waves and turns on SHANI.

Welcome as Tales Of The Text Podcast presents "The Recording". Have you ever used voice memo and just walked away or have you ever secretly recorded your friends?

Join us after the drama for our After The Text segment where we discuss the themes covered in the show. We discuss how the characters and story lines in the show relate to our own lives and what lessons we can take from this episode of Tales of the Text podcast.

Accidentally Crushin- Micah & Derek

Fri, 03 Jan 2020 21:04:43 +0000

Micah remains stunned by the news. She has so many emotions; hurt, confusion, disappointment,

and anger being most among them. She tries to catch herself. She works hard not to betray her

emotions on her face. She looks at Tiffany as if she couldn’t care less.

MICAH (sarcastically)Congratulations on your new baby.

Before Tiffany can say anything else, Micah turns and walks away. Her heart is heavy in her

chest and she doesn’t know what to do. She thinks about her time with Derek and how much it

had meant to her before. She knew that was all done. It had to be. Derek was going to be a father.

Whatever they were going to be would have to fall off.

She didn’t say anything to Derek. She did not trust herself to keep her emotions in check. Derek

won’t stop blowing her phone up. She just ignores him. She feels like it is best to just try to

forget what happened and at this point she isn’t even sure of their friendship.

Sister's Keeper

Fri, 27 Dec 2019 17:38:50 +0000

It's late night and JESSICA is in bed. The moon shines bright through her bedroom window. It's cold outside and the leaves have all fallen from the trees. Hanging tree branches tap at Jessica's window lightly causing her to stir, but not wake.

On her night stand next to her bed sits a glass of water and her cell phone. A cool breeze seeps into the room causing Jessica to shiver a little and her curtains to move. Then a woman's voice whispers, "make them pay" in Jessica's ear. To find out more put your headphones on to hear the drama, secrets, and plot twists as Tales of the Text presents Sister's Keeper.

Wrapped In Crazy

Fri, 20 Dec 2019 19:18:11 +0000

I never wanted to hurt him. But I told him that I loved him, and he disrespected that so, I had to set the tone. He started it. He wanted me and now he has me.

It all started Tuesday. I was working my shift at The Westbrook Movie Theater when Antonio came in. I knew him from school, we had a couple classes together. He was so fine. He wasn’t really my type, but I figured I’d make an exception for him. He was Puerto Rican with curly hair and this smile that stopped everything. He could dress too. The only problem was he was with some girl from the school. She wasn’t competition though. You see, I always get what I want, and I wanted Antonio. They came to see a movie as a date. It was cute. Antonio came over to buy popcorn and snacks.

Antonio looked me up and down, licked his lips, and chuckled. Now, I knew this look. I’m a pretty girl. Actually, pretty is probably being a little humble but whatever. The look was one of interest, I guess you can say I had him in the bag.
