Hey babies, I'm Sandy King. To the uninitiated, I'm the CEO of Storm King Productions and Storm King Comics. The people scaring the hell out of you for decades. In Louisiana, there's a saying. Lanyap. A bonus.

While inspired by real events, the following story is fictional and does not represent any actual person nor event.
See it? The passenger sent you down her seatbelt in that old hearse. The one with something wicked history tours on the sides. That's Nikki Goodluck. And while she may be a young woman now, she's still that little girl whose desperate whispers caught the winds many years ago in sunny Los Angeles. And the winds, they tickled my ears.
Paige, I have no doubt I passed that 300 question exam, but I have not received my guide permit from the city yet. You want to be a history guide, right? Here, put my permit around your neck. They don't put photos on them. Look, the city takes this very seriously, Paige, and so do I. And so should you. It's your company after all.
You just popped the question last night at the half moon and we decided to elope. Don't be that person that stood in the way of true love.
Ah, Detective Frank Dupree. NOPD's very own two-legged rainbow. Feelings mutual. Where's the body, Lieutenant? Smashing grab in the hotel here. Some religious artifact. You do realize the clock is running on that Andrews case? Yes, the missing nine-year-old girl. Her name is Tuli Andrews, Lieutenant, and she's approaching 48 hours without her medicine.

Chapter 3: How does Sandy King celebrate her birthday in this episode?
Freak. Take your humble, cheerful ass over there and start investigating. Look, Nikki, let me cut to the chase.
Oh, please do, Frankie baby.
You do the legwork for me on this stolen exorcism kit and free me up to focus on the real crimes. Do that and this whole situation you're in goes away. Understand?
Yeah, appropriate force. I understand. Jerk. Are you the Tandalorian? Tammy's just fine.
But two things you should know. If Father Sherman can't help you, speak to Papa Coltrane, the voodoo priest of the Sixth Lord. If anyone knows anything about a stolen exorcism kit in New Orleans, he's going to be one of them. Wait, you're Papa Coltrane.
I need to speak with you about a stolen exorcism kit. What?
Look, forget about that alley. Forget about that thing. Forget about that exorcism kit. Sorry, can't. Then you're on your own. But take this if you're going to be so foolish. It be a witch's stone.
I don't believe in such folklore.
You better start worrying about things you do not believe in, because they sure thinking about you now. This is very bad. Very, very bad.

Today, I met the love of my life. Her name is Juniper Suma. She just, she seemed kind of off to me.
Why would you think that? Tell me. It's her eyes. They're just so dark.
I feel like she's going to eat me or something.
I get that a lot. Hell really broke the moment they released her.
And she is everything.
Something's amiss at Juniper's house. Available everywhere this Valentine's Day. This is the emergency broadcast system. A ballistic missile threat has been detected inbound to your area.

Chapter 5: Who are the main characters introduced in the upcoming audio drama?
Is this all my blood? Maybe you're the leader of a doomsday cult, or you're a country superstar in 1954, or a gangster in Witness Protection. The question remains the same. What would you do if you only had 20 minutes until the missiles land?
This is not a test.
