Arc Stories

Four stories where our storytellers can’t quite comprehend what’s happening to them. A woman is confronted with great personal tragedy just as her entire community is faced with tragic events of their own; one man’s lifelong pursuit of a pen pal that goes horribly wrong; another man’s first awkward attempts at love.

(Originally aired August 25, 2016 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.)
