Dive Deep into Creativity: Your Ultimate Tumblr Experience Awaits
“When Nicholas Webb quits his job as a high profile journalist to move across the country to the small and seemingly mundane Ælctown, with the goal of organizing his recently inherited grandfather’s library, he isn’t expecting much. Some time to clear his mind perhaps. But Ælctown is not like any other that Nicholas has ever encountered, and the quickly loosing facade of normal rapidly unravels his understanding of himself, and the world around him. “
The Oddities of Ælctown is a Queer Paranormal podcast, following the story of Nicholas Webb as he untangles the mysteries left on tapes by 17 year old Beck from over forty years ago, in his audio diary that follows his confusing and lonely teenage years in Ælctown . It is written, voiced acted, directed,and produced by two young queer trans men, and aims to be representative of a multitude of different mental health issues, alongside various forms of queer representation. For more information on when the podcast will drop, follow our tumblr and give us some love! <3

It had been a long day of bullshit at work, ending in heading to one of the many diners littering the streets of your city. Each step felt like the world pushing you further into your own thoughts, until the shine of old florescent lighting of the diner filled your eyes.
Before entering you decided to stop and admire the city streets in front of you, how mundane yet beautiful th- "'Hey man, you got a smoke?" The man now in front of you had snapped you out of your thoughts, although his approach was so unexpectant, you barely recollected his question.
"Oh! Uhm.. yeah you can have one" mumbling whilst reaching in to your pocket and retrieving your beat-up pack of cigarettes, deciding to have one yourself. Just as you were about to offer the man a lighter, the loud flick of flint lit up the mans face like the sun, reviling his face to you fully. He had shoulder-length dark hair covered by a dark read beanie, and wide blue eyes that encapsulated your own. His lips formed into a shy grin, as he looked at you. "I'm Gabe.. What's uh your name..?" He said anxiously fidgeting with his lighter as he spoke, "Its Y/N, nice to meet you Gabe"
"You been in here before? I... uh used to come here with my dad a lot when I was a kid." he said in a slight stutter gesturing to the diner you both stood next to, before taking a long appreciative drag of his cigarette.
"There seems to be a lot of places like this round here, but I've never been inside" You noticed him lightly smirk, yet somehow keep his awkward attitude. "You wanna come inside with me..?" Gabe spoke softly, mentally begging you'd except his offer.
The loud jangle of a bell mounted above the door barely audible compared to the atmosphere of the bustling diner, yet it was soon ignored due to Gabe eagerly leading you towards one of the empty booths, whilst ordering you both a portion of hash and eggs. Once you had both sat down Gabriel began to act...off? He was either staring at you or at the ceiling fan whirring above you until you were both served your food. "Ketchup?" Gabriel broke the silence, holding the open bottle towards you, if there was even any left after the murder scene on his plate. "Uhm, no thanks I'm not a fan."
"Well opposites attract.. Don't they?"
Sorry if this a bit occ!! I might consider making a second part to this at some point, so don't worry about the somewhat abrupt ending... Word count: 417
