Almost Fiction

Crimes that are so diabolical that they seem like almost fiction. Based on real events, Almost Fiction is a Podcast where we try to imagine what it was like when some of the worst crimes occurred. Using facts, reports, and evidence, we attempt to reconstruct what the crime scenes might have looked like as the crimes were happening. So, join us each week as we peek behind the curtain at some of the worst scenes from some of the worst crimes ever committed. I’m Chase Ellerman, and welcome to… Almost

How much are you personally willing to forgive someone if you knew they had trauma perpetuated on them at a young age?

Most journals are personal… logs to help us remember things that we might forget, how we felt at pivotal points in our lives, a record of where we’ve been and how far we’ve come. They can be used to catalog our thoughts and ideas, as reference for times when we need a reminder of our hopes and dreams. Usually these things are kept secret, hidden away from the world.
