Summary

Where do we find security? What happens when, even though we’re surrounded by that security, our worst nightmare comes to life? 

What if we were raised differently from everybody else? What if we lived our lives like everybody else, but when we went home it was too different? 

Would we stray from the confines of what we know, just to be normal? Just so we could be like everybody else? 

Or would we stay within what we knew, no matter how strange it was? 

From one weirdo to another, stay weird and enjoy the ride! 

You may be more normal than you know! And you just might learn to enjoy the worst nightmare of your weird universe.

An odd little story let down by weak narration

This is a very strange, even by Dale Stubbart’s standards. I suspect it will take another few goes to properly get my ahead around this one, but this will be much harder than necessary, due to the narration.
The narrator has a good, clear voice, but they have a strange uneven staccato delivery that lacks any flow or pace. Frankly, this could have been a third shorter if the performance were more normally paced.
Not one of the better Stubbart short stories, sorry.
