Unseen Shadows: The Lure of “Headlights”
In the latest episode of Dead Airwaves, “Headlights,” listeners are invited to step into a world where the boundary between the everyday and the supernatural is hauntingly blurred.
The story follows Shawn, a night shift worker whose routine is abruptly disrupted by an inexplicable, blinding flash of headlights outside his secluded home—a phenomenon that sets off a series of unsettling events.
Mark Slade’s narrative, brought to life by evocative narration and a carefully layered soundscape, leaves us questioning what is real and what lies beyond.
With subtle hints of déjà vu and loss interwoven throughout the tale, “Headlights” masterfully teases the delicate interplay between memory and the mysteries of life after death.
