This week on Dave Wright’s Podcast, please enjoy the next episode “Choosing to Wake”. A hopefully poignant and unsettling short story. A man struggles with a mysterious and worsening illness, a constant companion of pain and debilitating symptoms. He keeps his suffering hidden from his wife, Celia, masking it with medication and a facade of normalcy. Driven by desperation and a need to understand his condition, he secretly researches his symptoms, uncovering frightening possibilities. As he pieces together the puzzle of his declining health, he confronts a chilling truth that forces him to question everything he knows. What is the real source of his suffering, and what will he choose when faced with the unknown? After the story, I will go into the inspiration behind “Choosing to Wake,” sharing personal experiences with chronic pain and exploring the anxieties of undiagnosed illness.
