Dust and Echoes

In a remote desert canyon lost to time, a weathered archaeologist uncovers the final thread of a mystery he’s chased his entire life, a forgotten Indigenous city hidden beneath the stone.
But when a mountain lion encounter leaves him broken, bleeding, and alone, survival becomes a brutal reckoning. Blending myth, memory, and a fire-lit confrontation with the past, Library in the Desert is a visceral tale about what we choose to remember… and what was never ours to claim in the first place.

Out in the wasteland, something still ticks, a briefcase unshackled from a dead chief’s wrist, armed with codes from the old world. Now, a Tribal sheriff must race through a post-apocalyptic Vegas to stop a warlord wearing a stolen face. This isn’t hope. This isn’t redemption. This is Humanity’s last stand, and it rests on the back of one man.The Fifth Number is an original story by James Cawley, host of the Dust and Echoes podcast. Make sure to SUBSCRIBE and tell a friend.  I'll have another new original story for you EVERY TUESDAY. Visit our website to see what's next and to view past episodes at: https://enterthedust.com

The world ended with a sound. Low, strange, and final. Entire cities froze. The Silent remained: breathless, wide-eyed, deadly if you fall asleep. A gambler, a swimmer, a rock star, and a physicist race toward a rumored safe zone as the last signal counts down. But what they find isn’t safety, it’s the truth behind the end.
The Silent is a gripping survival thriller where sleep isn’t rest, it’s a death sentence.Make sure to SUBSCRIBE and tell a friend.  I'll have another new original story for you EVERY TUESDAY. Visit our website to see what's next and to view past episodes at: https://enterthedust.com
