Hello, my Spooky is Welcome back to our feed. I'm
2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:11.960
your host and narrator Enriquecuto. Here it's Halloween all year long,
3
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.759
and tonight we're cracking open one of the best of
4
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:20.640
Weekly Spooky from twenty twenty five. This was our summer
5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:26.440
mini series, Deadly Second Chances, a five part nightmare built
6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.199
on one simple promise. What if you could go back
7
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:38.200
and fix the moment everything went wrong? Sounds nice, doesn't
8
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:44.079
it until you realize Second Chances don't come with a ribbon.
9
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:51.000
They come with a contract with rules, with a price
10
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:59.240
that isn't due upfront but always gets collected. So settle
11
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.920
in and keep one ear open for the sound of
12
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:10.000
a page turning in an empty room, because once this
13
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:15.680
story starts, you don't get to unhear it. So now
14
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.439
take a deep breath. Make sure you're subscribed on your
15
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:25.280
favorite podcasting app, because every single week we bring you
16
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:32.040
a taste of Halloween and now five chapters, five lives,
17
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:38.840
and one supernatural deal that sounds like mercy right up
18
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:48.200
until you realize it's a trap with velvet gloves. Deadly
19
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:57.920
Second Chances by Rob Field Perdition Hell Weaver sat at
20
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.920
the edge of the fountain and stared into its waters
21
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:08.439
to see events unfold throughout the universe. Even though she
22
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:13.400
continued to feel anger over her imprisonment and perdition, she
23
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:19.039
found irony in the fountain itself. It was falling into
24
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:24.280
the infinity corps before me, along with the damaged reality
25
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:30.719
sphere that began my imprisonment in this infernal dimension. She
26
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.360
commanded the image to display of the sapphireic speedster known
27
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:40.319
as Blue Girl. You thwarted my plans of conquering the
28
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.360
multiverse so many years ago and caused my imprisonment. She
29
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.919
tightened her fists. I believe you understand that I shall
30
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.759
not remain here for all eternity, and when I am
31
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.560
free once more, you and I shall have a most
32
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:07.560
serious discussion. Indeed, hell Weaver, though imprisoned, could still leave
33
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.120
perdition in the form of an astral projection to be
34
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.960
able to speak with her disciples or to those who
35
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.599
would summon her upon discovering one of her bibles. Unfortunately,
36
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:26.560
she couldn't remain outside perdition for long periods of time.
37
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:32.800
Though hell Weaver was a goddess with unlimited power, she
38
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:39.080
herself was not above the laws governing her imprisonment. When
39
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.240
she felt depleted, she would return to her body and
40
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:49.960
rest to allow her energies to peque again. Hell Weaver
41
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:56.039
always brightened up upon seeing her daughter. Sin approached her
42
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:00.120
mother with what appeared to be an ancient tome in
43
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.919
her hands. Unlike her mother, Sin was not bound and
44
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:10.439
imprisoned within perdition and could come and go as she pleased.
45
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:16.639
Greeting's mom, Sin said, placing the book next to the
46
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:23.600
Infinity core, my baby. Hell Weaver replied and embraced Sin.
47
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.519
After their hug. Sin glared at her mother with excitement.
48
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.800
I have found it, mom. This is the last volume
49
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:38.600
written by Iomeir Tabon himself. Within these very pages is
50
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:44.040
the key to your release. Sin sat and opened the
51
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:51.600
tomb to the exact page. It's called the Second Chance Compact.
52
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:58.600
Read for yourself. Hell Weaver eagerly yet patiently sat and
53
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:03.519
read the pages, ex blaming the Second Chance Compact. When
54
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.720
she finished, she placed her hand on the side of
55
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.399
Sin's face and caressed her. From the time I accepted
56
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:17.519
you and recreated you to be my natural daughter, you
57
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.000
have done nothing but love and obey me.
58
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:22.680
To day.
59
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:29.879
You have indeed proven your love. Sin lowered herself to
60
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:36.160
one knee, took her mother's hand, and cried, I do
61
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:42.480
love you eternally and unconditionally. I would give my very
62
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.360
life for you. You showed me how much you loved me,
63
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.439
or you wouldn't have remade me to be your true daughter.
64
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:58.720
Your will shall always be mine. I will see you
65
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:06.199
free to conquer the multiverse. Hell Weaver brushed Sin's tears
66
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:13.439
away from one eye. Indeed, rise and experience your find
67
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:19.240
with me. Sin obeyed and again sat beside hell Weaver
68
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:25.000
at the Infinity Corps. Then she explained the second Chance
69
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:31.680
compact to Sin in simple terms, I must be generous
70
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:37.160
during this experience and offer up to five beings the
71
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:43.279
opportunity to alter the course of their current existences for better.
72
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:48.959
Should any of them succeed in doing so, then I
73
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:56.120
cannot lay claim to their souls whatsoever. Only upon their
74
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:02.279
failures may I reserve them. I may only claim the
75
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.959
souls should three out of the five beings fail to
76
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:12.560
change their lives for the better. Only then shall I
77
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:19.279
be restored to where I may finally leave perdition. What
78
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:25.360
is more, I cannot interfere in any way. I may
79
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:30.600
merely offer the beings the opportunity and place them wherever
80
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.600
it is they wish to go back within their pasts?
81
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:43.560
Should they accept? Sin smiled sinisterly, you have me to
82
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:49.360
tip the balance in your favor. Hell Weaver gave Sin
83
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:57.240
a motherly smile. No, my daughter, the compact specifically states
84
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:02.879
against outside interfering rance. I have tried to teach you
85
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.279
that it is better to follow the rules. You may
86
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:13.319
find that it benefits you more often than not. Sin
87
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:19.480
became anxious. Mother, Why do you not just take for yourself.
88
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.000
You are a goddess. You don't have to follow the rules.
89
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:30.399
Not you, She pointed to the tone. Besides, if somehow
90
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:34.240
you were to fail to gain your three souls, you
91
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:38.960
can't use the second chance compact again. You only get
92
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.000
one opportunity.
93
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.279
Hell Weaver put a.
94
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.279
Comforting hand on the side of her daughter's face. You
95
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:54.200
speak true of my power, Sin. However, my godly existence
96
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.120
would become ridden with boredom if I were to just
97
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.919
take what I wish. No, there must be rules. They
98
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:10.679
are what make existence most interesting. I cannot stress the
99
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:21.080
importance of following rules enough. Sin seemed disappointed. I understand
100
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:25.799
your feelings, baby, I know that I have much to teach.
101
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:26.000
You.
102
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:34.440
Listen to your mother and obey. Sin nodded, Once we
103
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:39.639
follow the rules. Confident they were both on the same page,
104
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:45.879
hell Weaver trusted Sin. Let us take those souls from
105
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.879
your former mortal world, shall we Sin immediately became excited
106
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:58.360
and took her mother's hands. Strickfield, Mom, I have never
107
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.919
tasted so many corrupt souls as within that village. You
108
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:10.480
shall easily find your three there. Hell Weaver squeezed her
109
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:11.480
hands back.
110
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:13.480
Time to play.
111
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:22.720
Remember there can be no interference whatsoever. Still, there's always
112
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:27.799
the chance that I may lose. This is why you
113
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:33.480
must continue with your current quest. I sense your distress,
114
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:39.200
but you shall learn. You are merely a youngling, and
115
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.879
I shall teach you everything I know so that you
116
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:52.559
may understand. Sin nodded. Once, I shall listen and obey always.
117
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.720
Hell Weaver let go of her hands and turned her
118
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:02.600
attention to the Infinity Core. Soon the village of Strickfield,
119
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:07.919
Ohio appeared. As they looked over the village, hell Weaver
120
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:14.399
seemed pleased. Well, Sin, I shall offer up to five
121
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:21.399
Strickfield inhabitants the opportunity to change their fates. She soon
122
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:27.240
caught sight of one particular woman. I shall begin with
123
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:34.279
her sin. Gasped, then smiled. I can see her fate
124
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:38.480
for all the males of her world. Ever since she
125
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:43.480
was violated and infected with the disease she carries, she
126
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.399
gains her revenge by freely offering her body to any
127
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.360
man foolhardy enough.
128
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:51.320
To accept it.
129
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.879
Her disease has mutated into a new, horrible strain that
130
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:02.080
kills the men whom she lays with within five mortal days.
131
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.919
It is her life's purpose, even defying death and her
132
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:14.240
own God, to eradicate every mortal man from Earth. She
133
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:20.879
will never die or relent otherwise. She is known as aides.
134
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:26.840
Mary hell Weaver nodded once, then I shall go to
135
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:32.440
her first sin. Watched as hell Weaver glowed with power
136
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:38.159
before her astral projection left her body and flew upward.
137
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:44.799
Soon hell Weaver would make her first offer to a revenant.
138
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:55.159
Strickfield present day, Mary Ann Wright watched outside the first
139
00:12:55.200 --> 00:13:00.679
floor window of a Strickfield University fraternity house as one
140
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:05.799
of her latest male conquests was panicking after reading her
141
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.039
parting gift to him. The mirror had a message written
142
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.360
in lipstick, Welcome to the world.
143
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:15.720
Of AIDS.
144
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:21.919
The male student seemed so high and mighty. Upon picking
145
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:26.000
Mary up at Shaker's and taking her back to his room,
146
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:33.559
she willingly fulfilled his every sexual fantasy. After he fell asleep,
147
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:39.960
she left his room and seduced other members of the fraternity.
148
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:45.360
Mary walked away from the house and laughed at knowing
149
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.960
she had killed four fraternity.
150
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.279
Brothers in one night.
151
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:57.480
Though they weren't dead just yet, they were well on
152
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:04.440
their way. Tomorrow they might still be feeling okay day two,
153
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:10.240
they would become sick. With each passing day, the sickness
154
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:15.039
would grow worse. They would look like zombies in advanced
155
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:19.600
stages of decay from the walking dead. Once her unique
156
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:24.320
strain of AIDS finished with them, no later than the
157
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:30.039
fifth day, they would be dead and there was no
158
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:36.639
cure or treatment. Mary walked through an open area. At
159
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:41.120
times she would feel fits of hatred, Hatred for being
160
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.919
raped that night, hatred at God for allowing men to
161
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:50.039
always have their way with women. Mary fell to her knees,
162
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:57.960
tightened her fists, and screamed upward to God, I hate you.
163
00:14:59.480 --> 00:14:59.759
Mary.
164
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:05.919
He then looked up again. I will kill every male
165
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:11.120
you've created, all of them. I will never die until
166
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:17.480
the last one does. Mary soon realized she wasn't alone
167
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:23.039
and got back on her feet. She turned and saw
168
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:29.399
hell Weaver standing before her. Did God send you to
169
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:35.559
punish me? Mary spat, go ahead, I'll never regret killing
170
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.399
his vile creations, called men. I am not of this
171
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:47.200
god that you speak of, Mary Ann right, but I
172
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:52.679
am a goddess. Perhaps we may speak that I may
173
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:58.200
offer you a second chance, aids. Mary marched right up
174
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.360
to hell Weaver. Don't when you fuck with me. Hell
175
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:07.840
Weaver wasn't the slightest bit perturbed, Not at all. I
176
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.240
have the power to grant you the opportunity to change
177
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:17.519
your life for the better. This does not have to
178
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:24.159
be your life. Mary still heaved, Yeah, like you can
179
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:28.799
cure me. The second chance that I offer you is
180
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:32.799
not for me to cure you, but for you to
181
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.919
choose a point in your past where I shall place you.
182
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:42.720
From there, you shall relive your life. You may ultimately
183
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:46.639
choose a new path that will not lead you to
184
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:53.039
your current one. Mary seemed amused. What's the catch. She
185
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:57.279
shook her head quickly and pointed at hell Weaver. There
186
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.759
is no deal. You're in my way. I will not
187
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:07.599
be stopped. All of God's men shall die. Mary attempted
188
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.279
to fight hell Weaver, but the goddess seized her wrist
189
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:16.960
and easily brought her to her knees. You are foolish
190
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:23.640
to challenge me, revenant, hell Weaver said calmly, Now, do
191
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.160
you wish to accept my offer for a second chance
192
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:32.519
on your life or not think about it? You would
193
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.160
not have to live with this existence. You could be
194
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:41.519
a normal woman, free to enjoy your life the way
195
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:46.279
you long to do so again. You could be free
196
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:53.400
of your disease forever. Mary was still angry, but she
197
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:58.880
slowly subsided. And what do you get if I fail?
198
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.359
I'm not say stupid? And do I get to take
199
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:07.880
my current brain back with me to answer your questions?
200
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:12.480
I gain your soul, which I would only claim upon
201
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:17.160
seizing two more out of the five beings. I would
202
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:22.799
offer a second chance too. You only get one opportunity.
203
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.279
If you say no, then I shall leave you alone
204
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.440
with yourself, and you would certainly retain your present knowledge
205
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:36.480
upon being placed at the point in your history where
206
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:44.000
you would choose I accept, Mary stated, without further hesitation.
207
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:49.440
Hell Weaver eased Mary back to her feet. Then our
208
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:55.240
bargain is sealed. Consider it carefully. What point in your
209
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:58.759
past shall I place you again?
210
00:18:59.480 --> 00:18:59.880
Married?
211
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.559
Didn't hesitate? Put me on the exact day I was raped.
212
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:11.400
From there, I'll leave Strickfield University, then, Aids Mary will
213
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:17.960
never be born. Consider it done, Mary Anne Wright, But
214
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.160
be warned. You may think that you have escaped your fate,
215
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:34.039
only to find yourself returned to it. Five years ago,
216
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:40.960
Mary Anne Wright gasped upon finding herself brought back exactly
217
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.640
where she had asked hell Weaver to place her. She
218
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.640
felt a strange sensation on her hand and saw the
219
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:54.640
blankets covering her. She also felt she was wearing an
220
00:19:54.680 --> 00:20:00.400
oversized T shirt under those covers. Most of all, though,
221
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:07.279
she felt her powerful rage was completely gone. She touched
222
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:12.440
her breast area and felt her enhancements were no longer there.
223
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:20.839
She truly was human again and normal. Hell Weaver really
224
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:25.160
did it. I can leave here right now and live
225
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:30.400
my life, Mary thought, I won't ever become Aids Mary.
226
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:35.480
She was so excited that she began planning the rest
227
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:40.079
of her life. Then she remembered how special this day was.
228
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:45.599
When she realized someone's arms were gently wrapped around her.
229
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:53.519
Morning Raymond Burr said softly in her ear. Suddenly Mary
230
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:58.440
became scared. She quickly turned out of his arms and
231
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:04.480
got out of bed. What's wrong, Annie, Raymond asked. She
232
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:09.160
knew that every minute she remained at Strickfield University was
233
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:13.960
a minute closer to becoming Aids Mary. Again, she had
234
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:19.079
her second chance and knew she had to escape and fast.
235
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:25.640
Mary faced Raymond, get dressed, you have to go. Raymond
236
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:30.039
saw how scared she was and went to her. When
237
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:35.359
he wrapped gentle arms around Mary, her long dead feelings
238
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:41.680
of love returned. She also remembered that he was her
239
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:48.039
first victim on her dark path to becoming AIDS Mary. Suddenly,
