The Intruder
Project Overview
When a college professor’s reflection on daily discrimination is interrupted by a chilling intruder, she is forced into a waking nightmare where she's left to fight for survival against an unrelenting terror from her past.
Check out one of our past audiodramas to get a feel on what this one will be like! This episode will be the 18th episode in the anthology.

Dad!!! I just started working here a year ago. I still have a long ways to go. Like six more years. Assuming I last another six years, let alone another six months.
(hopelessly) Tell me something I don’t know. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but those words really hurt, mom. Like a punch to the gut. True or not, it made me feel like my skills, knowledge and experience weren’t valued. That I was just hired simply because of the way I looked… and nothing more.
(angrily) I don’t speak American. But I do speak English!
