The Voice On The Radio Novels & Stories

Or I will spend my time here breaking every bone in your body, one by one. The man moved his tongue, seeming to want to resist, but finally, he nodded slowly, forced to give in to Edward's pressure. His hands trembled as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a communication radio. “Boss,” he said in a trembling voice, pressing the radio button. “He's here... the man you're looking for.” The radio made a static noise, and then came a cold heavy voice from the other side. “Good. Hold him there. I'm coming.”

' At ten o'clock in the evening, there was a gentle female voice on the radio. 'Next, let's listen to the first listener. Hello, this gentleman, do you have anything to say?' Moon's gentle voice is mixed with a touch of soothing power, which makes it easy for people to give their hearts away. 'Miss Moon, it's like this. As for me, I have always liked a girl, but she has always refused to promise me that I haven't done enough, but I didn't find her hugging another man until today, so why on earth?'

The radio hissed quietly in the background. White noise. Nothing more. At least until a voice emerged from the static. Caleb froze. For a second he thought he'd imagined it. The sound vanished as quickly as it appeared. He leaned closer to the receiver. The static continued. Then the voice returned. "...any survivors..." The words crackled through a wall of interference. Caleb immediately reached for the tuning dial. The signal shifted, strengthened. Then faded again. His chair scraped backward across the floor as he stood. By the time the voice returned a third time, he was already moving toward the stairs. The radio room emptied behind him.

Because the next thing I know, he walks out of my line of sight, and I don’t hear the hum of the radio anymore. A few minutes later, I hear someone talking on the radio, however. “No, it was a joke officer. I’m sorry about that. I found this radio. The officer must have lost it on his route. There is no problem here, I assure you.” I hear the voice say from around the corner as it travels towards me.

He bit off a piece of his bun and then said with his mouth full:" I caught it this morning at the boss's by chance. " At least that explained why Maddox hadn't heard of it yet. “Nice shit. First let the ... "He interrupted himself when the radio cracked on his belt and immediately afterwards a tinny voice announced: " Rauxeler Weg two, children's birthday, three seven seven, proles unknown. " "That's right around the corner," said Gian, while the tinny voice was still mutilating his eardrum.

“You saw that message. He’s been one step ahead of us this whole time. He’s playing with us.” Liam’s jaw clenched. “Then it’s time we stop playing.” The tires splashed through another puddle, and a faint crackle of static came from the radio. Liam turned the knob, trying to catch a signal, but instead of music or weather reports, a voice came through. Low. Calm. “Looking for him, Kayla?” I froze. The sound was faint, warped by static, but I would know that voice anywhere. Ethan. Liam’s head whipped toward the radio, then back to me. “What the hell—”

It was a voice filled with static, warmth, and the imperfections of a real human throat. "This is Port Trinity," the broadcast began, Leo’s voice carrying across the harbor. "We have food. We have water. If you can hear this, stop waiting for the circle. Look at the person next to you. Talk to them. The grid is gone, but we are still here." The effect was electric. The catatonia broke. A man stood up and helped an elderly neighbor. A group of teenagers began to unload the grain bags. The "Noise" was returning—the messy, uncoordinated, beautiful noise of people making choices.

I sat in the passenger seat with my bag on my lap and my eyes on the road ahead. I reached forward and turned the radio on. The sound came through immediately, clear and bright and I settled back and waited for music and instead what came through was a voice, smooth and even, the kind that radio show hosts have when they've been doing it long enough to sound like they're talking directly to you.

"Who are these stone age men up there? Haven't you paid attention to the news yesterday?" "I believe there's a sound!" Squeak. Squeak. Squeak… It was the static sound coming from an older style radio. And afterward, a rough, low, and cold voice talked. "Hi, everybody. I'm your host, the passing appointed authority. Welcome to the present execution live transmission."

How do I explain chaos, when I don't even understand myself? The traffic crawled forward inch by inch, engine growled, horns blaring, heat pressing against my skin, my patience was already getting thinned. I exhaled sharply before reaching for the radio. I needed something to drown my thoughts, something to fill the silence, before it swallowed me. My fingers brushed the buttons. The radio came on. Voices cut through the speaker.
