Summary
* “It’s A Long Story”: A personal essay I wrote about why I don’t drink alcohol, with a twist. I wrote it as a strange court case that takes place inside my brain. The main characters are Judge Ego, Prosecuting Attorney Id, and Defense Attorney Super Ego.
* “Chemical XX-88”: A science fiction story I wrote about an underwater, human-like species that is being threatened by something happening in the above-water human world.
* “The Old Lighthouse”: A mild horror/suspense story I wrote about some teenagers sleeping overnight in an old lighthouse.
* “Confessions of a Packrat”: A silly essay I wrote to make fun of myself for being a packrat.
* “Letters from College”: Letters I wrote to my family and friends during my first year of college about some fun times, some curious incidents, my study life, and my work life.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another bonus episode for the bonus podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | Sometimes I do something different or experimental to something that I might not do on the public |
| 0:22.4 | podcast and not do on the public podcast. |
| 0:24.0 | And this, this episode, this bonus episode falls into the category of personal. |
| 0:35.0 | So I'm going to share with you something personal, which I'm not sure if it'd be a good fit on the public podcast. |
| 0:48.0 | And what I'm going to share with you is why I don't drink alcohol and I've never drunk alcohol before. |
| 1:00.0 | I've never been bust. I've never been drunk. |
| 1:03.0 | And I think I basically have mentioned that |
