S02E11 – Tales of Despair: The Block Never Sleeps The Story Monster Podcast

"Everyone is ours eventually". In this entry from Tales of Despair, the Cinematic Witness opens a case file on a block that listens to the rattle of your keys and the rhythm of your fear. Between the "underwater" jukebox melodies and the spongy, pulsing concrete, we find the survivors of a city that refuses to let go. Backed by the chilling, recovered audio of Log Set A-17, this story proves that while the city paints over its history, the bones beneath the asphalt never truly disappear.
