🎙️ Story: Fresh Air by Brian Simpson
(Content note: suicidal ideation) In 2003, Brian is a Marine stationed in Kuwait, and his battalion drills for potential biological attacks. A Trivial Pursuit game reveals a shocking statistic: 50% of their gas masks are defective. Later, facing a missile attack, Brian is haunted by this.
