Welcome Short and Nasties presented by ME4 Writers. This is the final of three shows exploring the darker side of the Medway Towns.
As the danger passes and the panic settles, people adjust to their business. But in the corner of every eye is a suspicion that something will never be quite right. A nervous twitch at the bus stop, when a pigeon takes off in the rain or that sense so isolation as you are the last person to lock up. Horror lives sideways of this place, invisible, but never so far as cannot be felt or heard when the moment is right. Look around for long enough and you will find that which fuels us, we are an engine of fear – panicked into action, pumping raw emotion through crystallising veins and spewing out the sewerage of human error.
This weeks podcast features stories from:
Michael O'Connor, Andrew Day, Fizzer Rippon and Roy Smith

Welcome to the ME4 Writers Short and Nasties podcast. This is the second of three shows exploring the darker side of the Medway Towns.
Sometimes, when the wind is right you can smell the rot seeping through the cracks in the ground. Down New Road or close to the river, where the crust is thin and the occasional tentacle breaches the surface. We keep it quiet, don't like to talk about it, but no matter how they patch it up, we all know it will eventually devour us all. In the meantime its best to get on with it, forget those troublesome headaches and nasty nose bleeds, its normal, isn't it?
This weeks podcast features stories from:
Liz Canning, Barry Fentiman and Clive Radford

Welcome to the ME4 Writers Short and Nasties podcast. This is the first of three shows exploring the darker side of the Medway Towns.
These tales are as the flicker of an amber street light on rain soaked tarmac, the remnants of peeling posters on boarded up shop fronts. This is for all the alleyways that made you look backwards and trees that scratch against your window late at night. Imagine a settlement on the banks of a cruel river, never meant for habitation, but suffered with an indignant rage. Refusing to move on and digging deeper into the heart of the beast, we struggle for sense in a time of constant opposition. Then in the silent places; on the roofs of car parks, towering above and locked in buried tunnels deep below they wait for whats to come.
This podcast features stories from:
Stephen Morris, Sam Hall and Roger Tooth

This collection of writing was produced as part of the ME4 Writers 7th Traveller project. It is designed to be listened to during a walk around Rochester.
Starting from the site of the old police station, on the corner of Cazeneuve Street. Follow Victoria Street to the bottom of Star Hill. Walk the length of the High Street then turn left along the Esplanade and walking up the steps to the Castle Gardens. Leave by the Epaul gate and head down towards the Cathedral then follow the road around towards the Terrace and up past the Kings Orchard gate to the Vines.
Walk at a steady pace neither rushing or daudling and participate in a shifting experience, as the words sync into the landscape providing a something different for every person and time the walk is taken.
Written by Roy Smith
With thanks to the readers:
Nikki Price, Bob Wade, Natalie Eacersall, Robert Swan, Sam Hall, Peter Groves, Lesley Conquest, Mike Dickinson and Mark Erwin.
