Pen, Please

By: George Mayes

Narrated by: Taigo Anderson

Sixteen-year-old Andre Young was naive to think his life couldn’t be turned upside down in a matter of days. But hearing the words “Have you gone to the hospital yet?” made everything real. Standing next to his father’s coffin reinforced the impact. Luckily, his loving stepmother stood by his side in his time of need. The one who’s always despised him and who wanted him out of the house just days before the funeral.

In this case, death may have provided a way out, but in which direction? North, toward the pressure of drugs? Or maybe east, toward a frigid cell? Either way, things are going south on a clustered highway at staggering speeds. If Andre doesn’t heed the familiar voice calling to him from six feet deep, he’ll never escape his greatest obstacle - himself. In time, life finds a way to mold Andre into a man. But not a second before things go from bad to worse....

Good story and production

The storyline was interesting with lots of rich characters. Narrator was good, really enjoyed how subtle effects were used to bring an additional layers to the production.
