Storylink Radio
Some dates are just numbers. Others are invitations. Tonight, we gather under the long shadow of one such number—Thirteen. A number that, when it falls on a Friday, carries with it a legacy of caution, of mystery, and of dread. Superstition? Perhaps... Or perhaps.. a whisper from something older than reason? This original poem was written by Shandon Loring and Ossian Grey especially for Friday the 13th!

info_outlineCenturies ago, by a scaffold in Manhattan, rose petals drifted gently to the ground…
…like snow on a wintry Massachusetts night. Melody Tarleton is driving home for Christmas when a man—clad in Revolutionary War-era costume—appears out of nowhere, right in the path of her car. Shaken, she takes in the injured stranger, listening with concern to Jake Mallory's fantastic claim that he's a Patriot soldier, sentenced to death by British authorities. The last thing he remembers is the tug of the noose.
Safe at her parents' house, Melody concocts a story to explain the handsome holiday guest with the courtly manners, strange clothes and nasty bump on the head. Mark, her close friend who wishes he were more, is skeptical and her family is fascinated—though not half so fascinated as Melody herself. Jake is passionate, charming and utterly unlike anyone she's ever met. Can he really be who he claims? And can a man from the distant past be the future she truly longs for?
With the aid of enchanted petals, ancient potions and the peculiar magic of the season, Melody and Jake embark on an unimaginable Christmas adventure—and discover a love that transcends time.
