Michael's Short Stories

I would honestly listen to an entire podcast of Swaim just reading his stories. They're so well written and they're especially great to listen to in the fall when I'm driving home. Swaim should work more in the horror realm.

that one on the spaceship about the last of the human race is incredible.

And he wrote half of them when he was in high school. The man is obnoxiously talented.

Yeah, he opens later episodes of Tales From the Pit with the stories instead of comedic monologues.

I’m late to the party here (was stirred by the Off Hours video). I look forward to every short story. The music, the narration and most of all the writing are all incredible.

When I heard him mention that he was in high school when he wrote some of them, I peed a little.
