I've been waiting to see his name pop back up. Not only does Erik have the best voice, he WRITES the stories he narrates. Alot of great contestants, but Erik is in a league of his own.
Thank you to everyone that's listening and voting in this round! I'm having a blast participating, and any comments (positive or negative) make my day! Fingers crossed that this story and narration send a chill up your spine. :-) Also, CZcams seems to have done some unintended things to the audio mix on the original file, so you are welcome to download the narration from Dropbox here if you want to hear it how it was originally intended: www.dropbox.com/s/gl6jjlj8xr58ykd/%27What%20Was%20Brought%20Home%27%20by%20Erik%20Peabody.wav?dl=0 The story is exactly the same, but the high end is a bit crisper and the whole thing sounds less compressed. Thanks!
@VikingGuitar thanks for the great story! Definitely helped to pass the time on a dull day. Best of luck to ya, I've been rooting for you the entire time!
VikingGuitar you got this! I love your voice any way I can get it. I put you up there with Jason Hill. You know thatâs saying A LOT! Best of luck my friend. Your damned good. đ€đ»đ
I was so impressed with the writing of this story. It was so intricate and had really well developed characters for a short story. I think you really got in the head of a sociopathic narcissist! Grrr for that person. Even if this wasn't a horror story it could be a really great fictional short story. Poor James BTW.đ„șđ„ș
Wow. Once I saw the name Erik Peabody, instantly, I knew two things: One, both the story *and* narration would be fantastic. Two, regarding the story, I was prepared to run the whole gamut of human emotion. By far, this man is my favorite narrator/author.
I know this is just a story, but as a widow of a marine, the wife severely pissed me off in this constantly!!! This was a great story though! I hung on every word!!!!
I'm sorry for your loss. I have lots of friends with military and law enforcement history, and this was a slight way of honoring what they have to go through when no one really understands. I'm glad you enjoyed the story!
Yowza. Okay, "wife who was lonely and slept with the neighbor while her husband was in Nam" is one thing. That's a character with a flaw. That's solid drama. But once Shelly jumps into "Man up, it was just a war, why are you so emo" territory, I just lost all sympathy for her. Edit: AND THERE'S THE SLAP! "I just slapped you, why are you expressing mild irritation at me?" Jesus! Edit II: Oh...
Great narration. I would have liked to know more about the project and more about James' disappearing acts. Even though he was passed out when he disappeared, where did go? Did he kill Tim and then pass out again? Your voice is great I just would've liked to story to answer some natural questions that the listener/ reader would have towards the end that weren't explained
I think he was altered in some way by "the project" to be able to do something like teleporting, and act as an assassin. It seemed like for some reason, he began killing the other experiment subjects? Unless that was intended as "practice" lol. So, he really did kill the people he was suspected of. It was hard to figure out the logic of what was happening, but a really masterful story overall! I loved it.
Erik is a pro when it comes to storytelling and writing his own ntriguing stories. Definitely a thumbs up. Sorry i was late to the Peabody party but glad i did make it finally.
The narration is very well done and the story?! That is a whole other level of horror writing. It's not often that these stories keep me on my toes guessing but this one sure did. *SPOILER AHEAD, DO NOT SCROLL DOWN* What I really loved about the end was that I was pretty sure about what was going on and had been happening thru out but there is just something in the last bit that got me wondering. Did they come to tie up hubby's loose ends or was she the failed experiment that couldn't keep a nice, little family life going. So she needed to be "taken" care of? It's probably all to cover for hubby but there's just enough left unsaid and the wife just isn't right in the head for the whole thing. Sooo HhHhhMmMmn?
Wow, I didn't think about that (in the Spoiler). But yeah, I didn't get what the agent said about "domestic application" specifically. There wasn't anything in the story about Shelly"s childhood, but I had the impression that she was always narcissistic. The story made me think of The Manchurian Candidate.
Great, engaging story that really draws you in. Loved very nearly all of it but the ending left me with...Huh?? đł So who shot her from the military? Was I drunk? And I don't even drink. Thumbs up anyway.
This was a great story for you, I think itc was a great fit for you! I love these types of stories not to mention that I fully support our VETS. That woman got what she deserved. It's called the "Military classifieds " My grandfather killed himself due to shit he endured. Thanks for making my day a little brighter in a dark world.
wow I forgot I was on CZcams , thought I was listening to an audiobook LoL ... this was a great story great reader ... I saw one comment that said this would be even better with a full cast , well I felt like I was listening to a full cast ... this was absolutely top class story telling ... loved it
Maybe I'm just being slow but could someone explain the guy in the sedan, and what was the "project"? I'm guessing it had something to do with mind control or wiping of James' memories? MK-Ultra?
there was a "PROJECT" to do "remote viewing" which was that a person "could" be in one place and meditate. that person than could "see" places and items anywhere in the world by mental projection. this is NOT A JOKE. the CIA and MILITARY took that project very serious. WHAT is happening in this story is "physical" projection (teleportation) of the "subject". the guy was a "volunteer" for the "black ops" study and i was being used as a assassin by the "spooks" (CIA). He was able to "teleport" to where they wanted him to go but needed him in a "certain state of mind" for it to work ( drugged or very drunk).
Great narration and great story! About the outcome... Holy shit I haven't hated the protagonist of a story this hard in a long time. I'm glad Shelly ended up being evil because if she was supposed to be sympathetic while also being such a selfish biatch I wouldn't have liked the story much at all. Good to know there was a purpose behind it. I also love how her story started to expose the mystery aspect in the background, only for that to be brought back up at the very end. One of those things that leaves you wanting more info without feeling like the story was lacking. Solid A
I grew up in Monterey Bay. Salinas. I live in Vegas now and no one has ever heard of it so hearing the names of my cities really cheered me up for some reason lol
VikingGuitar never thought someone as talented as you stayâd upstate, especially this sh!t of a cityđ·, but that aside great narration and story hope to see more narrations from you in the near future
A great story, but I don`t understand some parts of it :) What is it with James constantly forgetting about everyone and everything from the past and about Vietnam, and getting told by Thomas "that James had died in the jungle"? Is James a ghostly being or undead or what happened? And what "project participant" was James and why did the project (probably some post-war PTSD help) fail? Well James got drunk sometimes in the evening and had some PTSD issues, but his wife was the bitch that constantly acted weird and 100% egoistic and erratic, had zero time for him and his problems, cheated whenever she wanted and acted out however she wanted, could not accept that her "beta-cuckold" started his own life and last but not least she hammered the last nail into her son`s coffin...... So why was James a "failed project" - he did nothing wrong but coming home from war and making the American dream real, and drinking sometimes a little bit while being melancholic, and in the meantime got fucked up lied to cheated betrayed and brought to prison just because his ungrateful bitch got somehow "bored of her housewife-life suburbia paradise". Ehm why exactly was James a "failed project"....? I am really curious and I hope that someone can explain and discuss the superb yet somehow mysterious plot-twist ending a little bit.
James was killed in Vietnam by his fellow soldiers (the ones that he went after) and his corpse was brought to life in some dark secret project. He was brought back with serious side effects after glimpsing the other side like PTSD, memory loss and some emotionally influenced teleportation ability. He's probably a failed project because of the fact that he's been arrested and will therefore never integrate into a normal life which could have been the goal of the project. The observer deeming the project a failure decides to tie all loose ends before calling it quits, one of which is Shelley and her knowledge of James' ability.
My favorite part about videos like this is all the people proclaiming how good it is, but when people ask questions about the plot, none of them have answers. I had to listen to this in two parts, so I might not remember some things, but I started getting the feeling that the wife was the project and the husband was more of a monitoring device. The baby was real, the baby's father was real, and the murder was real, so maybe the plan was to drop this "woman" into a real world scenario and hope she could assimilate... but, she doesn't. She's the failed project and must be terminated.
my theory is that james really did die in Vietnam, the project might be reviving people from the dead and implanting/blocking memories associated with their death in order to not have them freak out over it. Maybe the people who did it to him were continually tweaking and modifying things, hence why he might have appeared in other states, and almost vanished towards the end. The failure being that they were unable to successfully reintroduce James to the world without mental trauma, an allegory of sorts for returning veterans, this would also explain as to why he went from staving off alcohol to being an alcoholic, his staring at walls or being unreachable, both which are attributed to his mental blocks and actual PTSD.
A perfect novella. Would love to see an adaptation of this story. Thereâs not a lot of Philadelphia Project-like horror stories out there and itâs wonderful to view it through a Army wifeâs perspective. TOP NOTCH!!!
I feel sick with pity for Tim but he chose to have an affair with a married woman and so having a baby he can't be father to is his own fault. It's very sad. Damn I hate when a scary story is sad. Love this channel, by the way!
Erik Peabody is like a Yankee Jeff Clement. Prove me wrong. Oh, and he's a badass author, too.

That was a really good story one of the best i've heard for quite a while and exceptionally well read, Erik Peabody is double talented great auther, great narrator
This is really, really, good! I loved every minute of it. The narrator reminds me a little of Lester Holt. Excellent job by both author and narrator! Very very good! Edit: I see by the comments they are one and the same! Dude! That's rockin!
I have to say that if âShellyâ was one of the military wives living nearby to me, I might ask to move from the evil hag! đ Great story as always! â„ïž
đđđđđđđđ Erik has been my favorite from the beginning....I will be soooo shocked if he doesn't win.......GOOD LUCK ERIK đ I Love your stories â€đđ
Fantastic writing.. I was drawn in from the first paragraph to the last. Great narrating.. this contest is gonna be close. Can't you have two 1st place winners? đ Update: I just read a comment that said Erik WRITES the stories he narrates??.. that's freaking amazing dude. Definitely in a class of your own.
Indeed, Erik has written all of the stories he's performed this year. He's also featured in this episode, narrating a Kris Mueller story: czcams.com/video/Y0TTo-1AN_k/video.html
@@chillingtalesfordarknights Thx so much for the link. I think I knew that when I heard him b4 but had forgotten who it was. He's awesome. This story is brilliant, and pulls you in for the entire ride. As a writer and p/t narrator myself I KNOW how difficult it can be to breathe life into the printed word. So Erik, I bow to your excellence in both writing and narrating. Good luck Bro đ đđ€ You ROCK!
I wonder if every other man who's dealt with a woman like this gets as pissed as I do just listening to the shit and vice versa. I know it's not just women

30 minutes in and the scariest thing about this so far is how heartless the wife is
Wait for it...
Dude I know right
I hate her
Marilyn, I totally agree!!
Her husband has PTSD and she only cares about her & only her..
@@chillingtalesfordarknights As in "you have yet to see how far she goes?" Because she is totally irredeemable.
When James was in Vietnam, he had flashbacks of being married to this woman
Well done sir, well done.
I just choked on my drink
This was good, well on you sir!
lol good one
I've been waiting to see his name pop back up. Not only does Erik have the best voice, he WRITES the stories he narrates. Alot of great contestants, but Erik is in a league of his own.

This would be good with a full cast.
I have never wanted a character to die so badly. Thatâs effective writing
I would have preferred he pulled out a shiny new hammer instead of his Beretta 92 for the wife's final poetic send-off. Still, a thumbs up!
I can't stand the wife, I kept hoping she'd get her due!!
Well, the government spook at the end wasn't there to wish her a fine howdy-do, lol.
I spent my entire time listening to this waiting for her to be deleted.
I know this is just a story, but as a widow of a marine, the wife severely pissed me off in this constantly!!! This was a great story though! I hung on every word!!!!

I'm in the same boat as you my friend.
Yeah I was thinking the same. I just don't think there was enough info. Tons of lose plot threads.
there was a "PROJECT" to do "remote viewing" which was that a person "could" be in one place and meditate. that person than could "see" places and items anywhere in the world by mental projection. this is NOT A JOKE. the CIA and MILITARY took that project very serious. WHAT is happening in this story is "physical" projection (teleportation) of the "subject". the guy was a "volunteer" for the "black ops" study and i was being used as a assassin by the "spooks" (CIA). He was able to "teleport" to where they wanted him to go but needed him in a "certain state of mind" for it to work ( drugged or very drunk).
The narrator is charismatic a very gifted man indeed.
Jesus. This was nothing like I had thought it would play out... this was incredible. Horrifying, but amazing.
My only problem is I can't hit the đ more than once. Writing AND narrating puts Mr. Peabody in a whole 'nother league. Bravo!
Great voice! Very easy to listen to. Hope you do tons more in the future. good luck!
Thank you! I plan on it!
Great narration and great story!
About the outcome...

Thanks for listening!
I listened again and don't understand how James went to Tim's and killed him if he was so drunk.
Thats actually explained in some of the comments
Absolutely well done!!!
The start of the story was capturing
Dam, this was dark! Nicely done.
You know what's scarier than the story? CZcams & the companies think I'm watching the ads & taking them seriously....
This was unusuall story, suspensefull I cry when I see villians sometimes while I get away from everyone and those villians
Amazing story, amazing narration... Thank you very much!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.

This is really, really, good! I loved every minute of it. The narrator reminds me a little of Lester Holt. Excellent job by both author and narrator! Very very good! Edit: I see by the comments they are one and the same! Dude! That's rockin!
Not going to name drop but he sure reminds me of another very popular CreepyPasta CZcamsr.
Either way, this gets a thumbs-up from me.
Love your vids so scary
Excellent story and narration!
I have to say that if âShellyâ was one of the military wives living nearby to me, I might ask to move from the evil hag! đ Great story as always! â„ïž
Great story and narration, thank you!
Our pleasure!
Shit....I want more.... This was AWESOME.
As an Iraq war veteran, I completely sympathize with the PTSD.

Fantastic writing.. I was drawn in from the first paragraph to the last. Great narrating.. this contest is gonna be close. Can't you have two 1st place winners? đ Update: I just read a comment that said Erik WRITES the stories he narrates??.. that's freaking amazing dude. Definitely in a class of your own.
Indeed, Erik has written all of the stories he's performed this year. He's also featured in this episode, narrating a Kris Mueller story: czcams.com/video/Y0TTo-1AN_k/video.html
@@chillingtalesfordarknights Thx so much for the link. I think I knew that when I heard him b4 but had forgotten who it was. He's awesome. This story is brilliant, and pulls you in for the entire ride. As a writer and p/t narrator myself I KNOW how difficult it can be to breathe life into the printed word. So Erik, I bow to your excellence in both writing and narrating. Good luck Bro đ đđ€ You ROCK!
Awesome writing and awesome narration. This one definitely has my vote đŻđ

Having Erik Peabody as a contestant is like having the contenders facing the CTFDN regular cast. He is his own league! Nerf him; he too stronk
Great story. Fantastic narration and style!
I wonder if every other man who's dealt with a woman like this gets as pissed as I do just listening to the shit and vice versa. I know it's not just women
