Episode 8: Godly Musings Over Triple Espresso

Welcome to Story Time with Darcie where in every episode, I read you a piece of my own short fiction. I’m an eclectic writer, so you may be surprised by the genres and situations, but what these stories have in common is their exploration of big ideas.

I have to confess, I’m not reading the story this month. Don’t get me wrong, there will definitely be a story, and it’s one of my favourites, but the narrating character is male and I am not. Luckily, the talented Nikolas Yuen is joining us again! 

You may recall, Nik joined as a guest voice in May where he took on the villains in Refuge. Today’s episode allows us to enjoy more of his range as he takes on the narrating voice as well as the dialogue. And it is amazing! 

Nik found his way into acting through a series of fortunate events and has been hooked on it ever since. While he enjoys the stage, he is particularly passionate about voice acting which is particularly lucky for me. You can hear more of Nik in Bleak December Inc's "The Wickerman" and "Return to Frightenstein." If you enjoy Nik’s reading today, be sure to subscribe or visit Story Time With Darcie again in October. But I’m getting ahead of myself again.

Today, Nik reads us Godly Musings Over Triple Espresso, the story that inspired the title for Musings, my collection of short stories published in 2019. More a vignette than a short story, Godly Musings Over Triple Espresso is told from a unique perspective and deals with mental health issues and contains (Content Warning) Adult Language. If you have any kids around, this might be one to put your ear phones on.

So, let’s let Nik begin …

I get chills when I hear Nik read this story. Amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Nik! 

I hope you enjoyed the story, because that’s it for today’s episode of Story Time with Darcie.
