info_outlineA short story by James Winterbottom
This story was inspired by a man my dad met in a lift that refused to press a button for him because, as he told my father, "I don't do favours". I wondered what things would have to happen to you that would lead you to a point in your life where you wouldn't even be willing to push the button on a lift for someone else and this story is the answer to that question.
If you're interested in buying live locust in the UK you can find them in Pets at Home by following this link: https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/merch-groups/great-deals/live-food, listeners in other countries will have source out their own supplier. This podcast won't take any responsibility for any consequences arising from anything that happens as a result of locust-based acts of revenge. I can confirm that no locusts were harmed in the making of this podcast! (This paragraph will make more sense once you've listened to the story, I promise.)
