First, I'd like to thank my mother, Lydia Patrick. She has always encouraged my creative side through writing and now through technology. She helped give me the confidence to believe I could take on such a project. 

On a similar note, I'd like to thank my PBP co-creator Rachel Ash. She encouraged me to try my hand at this particular project, especially when I doubted my ability to write a compelling piece. 

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my colleagues for this project: Robert Patrick, Keith Toda, John Foulk, and Rachel Ash. They listened to these episodes, gave suggestions, and piloted them with their students. 

Lastly, thank you to all the artists of Free Sound for the work they do. Having this resource is immensely useful! 

The townspeople of Nivea are plagued by a horrendous beast. The beast comes into town, destroying their homes, and frightening their children. Will they be able to defeat him? Or will they be forever at his mercy?
