episode 66: "Inquest" by Michael A. Black
A Chicago cop heads out to the country to investigate the death of Red, an old family friend. When he arrives, he begins to wonder who's really telling the truth about the goings-on around town, especially regarding Red's death. Soon enough, the cop finds that there's something a little off about the town he's visiting. Here is "Inquest" by Michael A. Black, from our March 2004 issue, read by our editorial assistant, Kevin Wheeler.
