Life Without Consequence: Recent Episodes
Davey Francis
Life Without Consequence is an science fiction novel... in the form of an audiobook... posing as a podcast.
The future of 2076 isn’t the brightest for Parker Ludere, but he doesn’t want much out of life. He’s perfectly happy to coast through the end of the world avoiding responsibility, selling moonshine to a local bar, and trying to stay out of his girlfriends bad books. Parker thinks he has all this and more firmly within his grasp when a neighbors suicide leaves him and his friend Benj in possession of a cell phone capable of teleportation. Of course, nothings ever that simple and the old friends quickly discover their new teleporter will only send them to a collection of seemingly useless destinations saved onto the device. Despite its limitations Parker and Benj try their best to use the teleporter to their benefit. Sadly, they only succeed in making their lives, and the lives of anyone close to them unimaginably worse. During a last ditch effort to undo some of the damage they’ve caused the two friends manage to strand themselves in the past of suspected alternate dimension where problems for the duo only evolve. Jail time and sobriety don’t seem so bad in comparison shape shifting monsters and revelation that their new teleporter might actually be one of the keys to all reality.
What happens after everything happens.

There were some small technical difficulties at the end of episode 6 that apparently persist through the beginning of this episode. They fix themselves pretty quickly.
Welcome to part two of this strange little story. This is where things start getting a little sadder... and much weirder.
*Early upload due to me having to leave town for a few days. My pain is your gain.
The title says it all. Every action has a reaction. These four chapters are rough and i genuinely struggled with the reading of this weeks cliffhanger. There's a weird glitch during the end theme that i recommend sticking around for.
This episode covers chapters 16 & 17. I think they're a lot of fun, especially given whats coming up next...oh shit, i may have said too much.
Finally! The teleporter looks like it's going to do something that acutally helps Parker and Benj. Fate might have something to say about that though.
In this episode, everyone's having a bad day. Nina's having a shit day at work because of Parker, Benj is having shit day at home because of Parker, and Parker is having having a shit day... with mostly just himself to blame. Hmm, i smell a theme.
Parker and Benj try to figure out exactly what the device is, and is not capable of. If the events of episode one are any indication, there is collateral damage.
