I think I agree with all the comments above. Lots of unresolved issues with the tale. No hint of angry family matters, but the girl hasn't been home for a dozen years? The family diarama tries to kill them? Good thing there wasn't a dog in her parent's house who might have chewed on the pieces, or done something even more unspeakable. Dogs do, ya know.

This is why all good and loving folks torch their miniture Chirstmas villages annually. To prevent loved ones from slipping into parallel universes that just might kill them. I hate it when that happens. I also sometimes pour beer over my little towns and those of my friends; to spread the holiday cheer with those who might be interdimensionally captured in a blizzard of confusion.

I don't have the hotel thing, but I do have a public library in my village. That way marooned travelers can go to the stacks and read up on the subtleties of wormholes, timeloops, and interdimensional potholes. They could, I suppose, even listen to audio recordings of old radio shows (which my library most certainly does have) and perhaps gain some insight into their perdicament.

Maybe it's just replicas of European towns that have this power of mayhem over us. Could be. I think American replicas are more benign in this regard. Food for thought.

But all in all I enjoyed the tale. Not the greatest, but not bad either. Plus it has elicited quite a few comments from the listeners . . . perhaps that's another way of judging the quality of the shows.

(A good recording, but something like a quarter tone too low . . . I think all the voices were distorted ever so slightly.)

Thanks for a fun show and happy holidays to all!
