About this listen

A good story lures then captivates us with elements of Conflict, Struggle and Resolution. We want to know what happened, how it happened and how it was resolved. It could be "ripped from the headlines," or something that Uncle Al told us at the dinner table on Thanksgiving. "TALES" will present vignettes from the lives of ordinary people as well as original tales of fiction. Let us know what you think about our work. Contact us at: dougs2ndst@gmail.com. We welcome you to our family of listeners. Doug Scott

  • Helen the Seer chapter 3 "Teenage Queen of Ouija"
    Jul 15 2025

    Chapter 3, takes us through Helen's teen years as she learns to cope with her powerful extra sensory abilities. She didn't apply for her "gift," in fact she sometimes regarded her enhanced sensorium as a curse. Her birth provided the "on" switch and there was no off button. Purely the luck of the draw. We are all born with qualities and abilities we did not apply for. We just had to make the best of it. Let's see how this young woman she makes this work. Consider what you would do if you experienced the world as does Helen? Easier said than done. Listen and let us know what you think. Connect with us at talesfrom2ndstreet.com. Enjoy the cast. DS.
