Wow. Dark, disturbing, fascinating. I loved this story.

Thanks for posting! I loved it too, especially the corn man's kernel-like teeth.

In fact, "Blighted Heart" will be our next BCS Audio Fiction Podcast (http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/audio.php), so anyone who's a fan of audio fiction can experience the story all over again.

Garth, glad you liked it! (I may have gone a little overboard with the corn, but heck, it's the first time I get to have foodstuff be this creepy...)
