ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When you go through a tough time, you will have people tell you that “it could be worse.” Frequently, the consolation of “worse things have happened to better people” is offered - as if to diminish the gravity of our suffering. But to imply that something could be “worse” is to state that it could be “different.” In tonight’s story, we find out what truly lies behind the facade of a set of circumstances that appear to be “different” than the circumstances that have come before. So pay close attention, and be prepared to take notes, lest you have to go through all of this Again.

The “Curator” was voiced by Nicole Clark, and “the Dictator” was voiced by Phillip Clark.
This, and every story, presented by the Hidden Archives is completely fictional. Any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental. But, when it happens, it is somewhat disturbing, pretty cool, and kind of the point (sometimes).
Music: Theme is “Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 – 22 Variatio 21 Canone alla Settima” by J.S. Bach, and the story music was: “Concerto in B minor, RV 580” by Antonio Vivaldi.
