You work the key into the lock of your front door, mail and keys clutched in one hand, a briefcase in the other, a small package squeezed between your bicep and ribs . The living room is dark as you walk forward to drop the items onto the table. You freeze. Motionless. Remembering. Bombs have been arriving by mail. Is the package that just tumbled down one of them?Introduce the next Dead Atlanta episode!

You’ve been walking for blocks, your stomach hollow. Then you catch it, the perfume of fried chicken drifting from just ahead, warm and unmistakable.The Pickrick, a sign reads, and you quicken your pace.As you approach, you see a man through the window, gesturing urgently. Faces crowd around him, rapt. The Pickrick door swings open as a customer steps out, her glare stopping you cold. The man’s voice carries onto the street through the open door, “...I will NEVER serve anyone other than white folks! I would rather close the Pickrick than let that happen!” The room erupts in hollers and applause before the faces turn from the man, to the window, and your dark hand frozen above the door handle just beyond. Their smiles curdle.You back away slowly. Away from the restaurant. Away from the danger inside. Away from the man holding court at the center of it all: the owner of the Pickrick, and the soon-to-be 75th governor of Georgia.Introduce the next Dead Atlanta episode!

TRIGGER WARNING: Graphic descriptions of gore and decomposition.It's July 1864. The summer heat burns into you as dust kicks up high into your eyes on the road, a suffocating stench crawling up your nose. With your head down and a sideways glance to make sure the Confederates don't hear you, you whisper to the Union POW beside you. "My friend was taken prisoner here a month ago--he'll help us." The soldier next to you chuffs. "If he's still alive, maybe, but don't count on it. We're going to Andersonville, we're already as good as dead." Introduce the next Dead Atlanta episode! Call ‪(404) 596-6118‬ and leave us a voicemail.

It’s 1914 and your 12-year-old legs  are carrying you down the street past house after house in Cabbagetown as fast as they can to get to the mill on time. You round the last corner before the mill and run straight into the back of a man standing stock still and staring straight ahead. You bend over trying to catch your breath while your eyes squint up and follow his—workers are flowing out of the mill, instead of into it. That’s when you hear the whispers swirling around you. From lips to ear it grows louder until the man turns around calling out what he just heard to the crowd now gathered behind him, “Strike!”Introduce the next Dead Atlanta episode!
