A tale inspired by the myth of Orpheus. A young man heads to New Orleans in search of his missing lover, and finds something he never expected: himself.
This was my senior thesis for my BA, and I have a site with essays on New Orleans, radio drama, and the myth or Orpheus to complement Day of the Dead.

Once again, absolutely brilliant. Very well written, and fantastic…. atmosphere (for lack of a better word). You really took me there.
This was great! I’ve been to NO at Halloween. There is no place better or creepier to be on all-hollows eve. Well done. This episode really captured that feeling.
