If Leeches Ate Peaches - one-shot radio drama/podcast
E. V. R. for The Leeches
Literally, a bunch of gigantic black leeches - fat and long and maybe 7ft tall.
The Leeches are figments of Annabelle's imagination, ebbing at the corners of her vision at all times. They mostly just slime about around the room and whisper or giggle to themselves, but sometimes - when she's feeling particularly weak or unhappy - they begin to sing or scream at/with her. They're somewhat akin to a Greek Chorus, just a little bit grosser to look at.
Voice notes:
These roles are utterly up to interpretation, and at least 2-3 actors will be cast - if not more! Feel free to make them as weird, creepy, or unexpected as possible. Literally, go insane - or keep it very low-key, there's no rules for these guys.
(teasing, sinister) Throw them against the walls. Why not? See what sticks in your mouth...!
(giggling a little) It’s just a salt, they said. Though you must drink a great deal of water or else you'll die! But it’s just a salt.
(teasing, mock-theatrical) ‘Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia…’
Optional: sing/vocalise a couple notes of whatever you fancy OR give a reel of strange/scary laughs and/or screams
