The Arithmetic of Vengeance
Manage episode 501331497 series 3451431
In the heat of an ambush, a soldier's act of mercy earns him a gift from a mysterious woman: a massive, ancient ring. But when this gift proves to be a curse that unleashes a wave of death upon his base, he and his best friend make a solemn promise: to end the war by any means necessary. No prisoners. No regrets.
"The Arithmetic of Vengeance" is a descent into the horrors of war and supernatural corruption, where a soldier is granted the power to crush his enemies, but the price is his own humanity. Follow Specialist Brady as he is transformed from a hero into a hyper-efficient monster, his morality replaced by a cold, ancient calculus of violence.
This is a complete, standalone horror story that explores the nature of trauma, the seductive power of vengeance, and what happens when the lines between man and weapon dissolve completely.
Written, produced, and narrated by Derrick Heisey with immersive sound design, this story blends military horror and supernatural dread into an unforgettable nightmare.
New original horror stories release every other Wednesday on the Nightmares & Grief podcast. New installments of the serialized novel "To Make the World Obey" release every Thursday.
CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains extreme war-related violence, graphic descriptions, psychological horror, and disturbing themes. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
