The Eternal Wall by Raymond Gallun

Auditory Anthology ·

2024/08/01

This week’s story is "The Eternal Wall" by Raymond Gallun. The Eternal Wall is a story that weaves together themes of love, tragedy, and the passage of time.

This story will tug on your heart strings a little more than either of those, though.If you have a story you’d like to contribute to the series, you can visit
