Jon was not born in Gratch Hollow, but he became part of it. In Ilra Wint’s chronicles, he is recorded through the work of his days—bare-hoofed in the garden, mending what was broken, steady when the rest of us were not. This audio drama episode of What the Pig Promised follows Jon—the Quiet Goreborn—the family who raised him, and the place he held in Gratch Hollow.

More from What the Pig Promised
It's a slow-burn, kinda sci-fi, kinda mystery drama… with its own sense of humor (which, coincidentally, is much like mine). It's about time troubles. About "mathmagics," a warrior nun, and an amnesiac who loves her. (Her love language may, in fact, be blunt force trauma. He stands by this.) It's about constellations and their legends guiding a world without stars, and the people trying to record them for the future. It's about the price you pay for the wrong decision, and a gentle soul who would never check the cost. It’s a story about making impossible choices when no one will know the sacrifice you made for them.
Dear Listener, fear not.When the constant is identified, the variables align and the system engages.— Author Unknown Read the transcript here.
The Stranger finds unintended purpose in his grueling death cycle, while the battle for a mysterious and frightened boy rages. A passage from The Book of Purifications: the legend of the Sister of Ashen — warrior of the Equation, protector of the constant, and catalyst of the Nameless. The creative innovation of a mathemagical pattern. The gardener with the bravery of innocence. And from a higher place… the spiral reveals itself, while the panther guards the truth from those not yet ready to receive it.
Dear Listener, fear not. A deep freeze may still a river’s surface, but in spring it again becomes one with the undercurrent. Solstice storybook tales of the Stranger waking to a Hollow buried in warm snow… a village replaced with something different… and a little girl who brought her cats to meet him. A story for Goreborn piglets, explaining humans. Possibly. Magic colorful cats.
Episode 4 — The Ashes of Echoes Dear Listener, Nothing’s ever truly gone, and nothing gained nor lost. It just transforms, unnoticed… forgotten… ’til it’s not. Like sickness, or a story, or a lifetime, or a plot. — Author Unknown When control of the experiment begins to slip, Kellor Voss commits to a drastic system reset and executes it with precision. The reset fails, changing the stakes in ways no one could have anticipated. At the same time, Sara’s work begins to cross from theory into the physical world, and the Stranger’s repeated deaths no longer follow a reliable path.
