About this listen
Short Story Press Presents Salvaged Quietude, by Ruth Pettite.
Psychologically, Logan Pelham seems like a normal guy with a constructive, filled life. He is about precision and exact timing, and he's a little obsessive compulsive at times. Although time limits are a part of his life, he seems to be a normal, everyday kind of guy.
When an old girlfriend from the past comes back into his life, he finds time is not of the essence. She is lost, upset, and mute. To top it off, she is definitely not the girl she once was. Her loud, political ways from college are gone, leaving her a frail and extremely timid woman with extreme mental issues.
After contacting the police, Logan is connected with the forensic psychologist. Doctor Morgan Shiles knows the woman well and agrees to meet with Logan. Seeing the woman in slight distress although Logan has offered her a meal, a shower, and clothing, Doctor Shiles insists they discuss her issues back at his office.
The halls of the institution are not the only things in this short story that have exceptional twists and turns. Be ready for an outstanding mind warp as you listen in Salvaged Quietude. You never know what, or who, is next in line to come up missing, dead, or more. This turbulent psychological mind blower is definitely a can't-stop-listening pause resister.

Story
After the death of her adoptive mother, Ava Saunders comes upon a peculiar photograph, sealed and hidden away in a crawl space. The photo shows a shuttered, ramshackle house on top of a steep hill. On the back, a puzzling inscription: Destiny calls us. Ava is certain that it's a clue to her elusive past. Twenty-three years ago, she'd been found wrapped in a yellow blanket in the narthex of the Holy Saviour Catholic Church - and rescued - or so she'd been told. Her mother claimed there was no more to the story.

Story
By the time playwright and actor Shawn Frost had won two Tony Awards by his late 20s, he was seen as a theater prodigy—a meteoric rise that the performing arts community had not witnessed in almost a hundred years. His work? Shakespearean in scope, character, and popularity—boundless and beautiful. His own character? Flawed. And in a place like New York City, where failings get magnified, Shawn Frost finds that, even from the heights of artistic sublimity, no one is insulated from the demons that have caused the best of entertainers to fall from grace.
