Chapter one of a three-part audio fiction series with elements of folk horror and magical realism.
“Don't let this die. Don't let us die. Because I'll never forgive you if you do.”
Phil Ainsworth is 54 and deeply sad. He is preparing for the annual village Beast Hunt. For hundreds of years, the men of his family have led a march in to the woods in search of a mystical pig-like creature. But for Phil it is a time for reopening old wounds and coming face to face with the reason for all his sadness.

THE ECCO is an international non-commercial initiative designed to tug at the boundaries of the world of audio storytelling, journalism, and documentary work. They bring together talents in different parts of the world — journalists, sound designers, audio producers, sound artists, & writers— all united by a common goal: to push themselves and each other out of their work-related comfort zones and explore the different shapes audio documentaries can take, where they may intersect with art and what the impact of such playful exploration can have.
This was made during an immersive retreat where a curated group of talents collaborate, experiment, and support each other in crafting audio projects that are as diverse as they are profound

A woman has taken her 12 year old daughter for high school orientation at a school near Essendon train station. As they take the tram home (towards Airport West), the mother tells her daughter about her own high school days, the memories she has of catching the tram, of meeting boys at the Airport West shopping centre, and her experiences of high school.
Thiis has been written and produced to be listened to on the Melbourne Tramline and specifically Route 59, but can of course be enjoyed anywhere with a little imagination.
