WPR: Afterlight Ep. 5 — Blood Sky | Red Lightning & “The Pickaxe Man” (Analog Horror Audio Drama)

Beneath the East Bridge, Ken Fox waits while a blood-red sky flashes without thunder. The mud still remembers traffic; the metal ribs creak like bones. Tonight’s story: “The Pickaxe Man”—a loner who dug up his brother after a dream, and the midnight clink… clink… clink that never stopped. A clean white tooth. A voice from the mine. And the reminder that some tunnels don’t end—they practice.

This episode threads Afterlight’s ongoing signals—Red • House • Under—with rain, rebar, and a storm that won’t fall. No jump scares; slow, atmospheric dread in a post-apocalyptic radio world.

Listen for: red lightning without thunder, midnight metal, Bishop’s finds, sanctified ground that isn’t.
Content: eerie themes, suspense; no graphic gore.
Series: Standalone story set within the WPR: Afterlight universe.

If you hear midnight metal, don’t follow uphill. Tie a line to daylight.
