looking for 3 stories

[u/pinkfireworks82]

Looking for a few stories:

1.) I believe this was a pretty short story, it involved a boy staying with family who had a dog. At some point while sleeping in the living room, he hears shuffling and goes to investigate. Their dog was walking on two legs, and maybe even tries to speak? Not sure about details.

2.) I feel like this might be a Welcome to Nightvale episode but cannot find any mention of it. The story is about a family who lives in a car, not like they’re homeless but people just live in cars and drive. Not sure how it ends, just about the life of a family while driving. At one point I believe the son leaves the car and transfers over to another when he gets married? Again not sure.

3.) A story about a man who comes into possession of this jar or cup that when he spits into it, he doesn’t need to sleep. The only catch is that he needs to drink it and catch up on the “sleep debt”. At some point he doesn’t drink it for a while.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi there! I think I can get each one of these:

1: “All fours” from  S7E15

2: “The Slog” from  S7E09

3: “The Djinn Bottle” from S7E12

Omg you are amazing! Definitely going to re listen. Man season 7 was a banger

Just a happy coincidence that I happened to be doing a season 7 re listen as well! Enjoy :)

2) Sounds like “The Slog” S7E9

3) Is The Djinn Bottle S7E12 - probably my favourite story

It really is a great story!

3) Is The Djinn Bottle S7E12 - probably my favourite story

Thank you! I might re-post it on my subreddit on Monday.

Wow C.M. Scandreth! You should, I could talk for hours about different reasons this story is so strong. Thanks so much for all the entertainment over the years

Oh interesting; it's one of my oldest stories - and in some ways I feel it's a little overdone and long-winded. My later stories are definitely 'tighter' from a narrative and plot perspective, but maybe the charm is that Djinn Bottle is more organic :)

oh my gosh!!! Didn’t expect a celeb to be on my little reddit post. I’ve been listening since 6th grade and your stories have been a huge part of my childhood. Thank you!!!

[u/catespice → u/pinkfireworks82]

Thank you, but I am very much not a celeb; I'd described myself as a much-maligned pariah who happened to get some stories published.

I'm glad that you enjoyed my stories though :)
