“Calls For Cthulhu” is a free YouTube comedy show that I publish sporadically. I’ve done so less and less frequently, and it’s because I have to spend a lot of time on paying gigs.

Recently, a viewer asked where they could put money in to pay for a new episode, so I put this together.

Here’s the deal. You click on that link, make a donation, and tell me if you are okay with me using your name in the show. When we reach a set amount for each episode (currently $500), I will stop work on my other projects, and put together another episode. In that new episode, I will list the names of everyone who donated to that episode and thank them in the credits.

Recently, a Calls For Cthulhu viewer asked, “When does episode 12 come out?”

I’d say that half of the comments left on C4C episodes are “When does the next episode come out?” which is flattering, but it makes me feel bad. In this case, I just responded, “That’s just a question of time and money. Unfortunately, I’m short on both. I may try another kickstarter for the next one.”

Yesterday, I took a scene from one of my favorite books, and explored it in a bit of flash fiction called “The 30-second bomb”. It’s a little darker than my usual stuff, but I hope you like it all the same. I’ve also included an audio version here.

“I am a thirty-second bomb.”

The creature pulled itself up onto diminutive legs and regarded those before him. As expected, a few people got the message and began to run. Some others began to wail and scream, as they searched for the exits. The rest merely gaped at him.
