  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie. And Samantha.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: And welcome to Stuff I Never Told You, a production
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: of iHeartRadio. And today we are bringing back another fiction
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: episode for you. I was thinking about this one because,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: as mentioned in our upcoming.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: A recap on Dragon Con.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: We're recording a lot of stuff right now, so the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: schedule's a little mess. But there were a lot of
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: run-ins with exes at Dragon Con this year, which Dragon
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Con is a big nerd convention that happens in Atlanta.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: And this fiction is about losing somebody and kind of
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the grief of, like, them being in your social media
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: are like not being able to escape them in your
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: life somehow, or just having all these like reminders of them.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And I was thinking about this too, in terms of
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: how technology has advanced so much since I wrote this. And,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you know, we have our technology.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Movie series with Bridget. We've already picked out the next movie.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I was watching the trailer for artificial today.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Um, And just how that might look now that some
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: of that stuff has gotten turbocharged. But also, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the protagonist in this story is not meant to be...
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: He's just sad.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: He's not meant to be a bad guy or anything
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: like that. But if you did write this in a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: way where he was a bad guy, all the ways....
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I just got to thinking, like, after somebody breaks up,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: do people interact with AI and have it maybe be
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: their ex? Like, try to find a way to interact
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: with it like that. Or when we're talking about flock
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: cameras and what we see, how that's being used for
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: people to stalk their exes. And the way technology is
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: used like that, it's just been on my mind. A
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: little update, perhaps.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But please enjoy this classic episode. Hey, this is Annie.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And Samantha.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And welcome to Stuff I've Never Told You, a production
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of iHeartRadio. It is time for another edition of Sminty Fiction. Yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: As always, do not panic if this is not your thing.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Just something we're doing once a month or so, where
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: we do a dramatic reading.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yes. I like to think it's a dramatic reading. Absolutely.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: With the soundscaping of our amazing super producer, Christina, who
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: deserves all the recognition and props because she makes these
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: sound so good.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: She kills it. She really, really does. Yes, in a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: good way.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: And this one has no real trigger warning, but it's
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: a little sad, I guess. So if you're tender emotionally,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, maybe not for you. I think it
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: will be fine. I think it's kind of goofy, honestly.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: But, you know.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And as always, a disclaimer, I wrote this for an
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: idea me and my ex had where we were going
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to have five people to submit ideas for... a music
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: video of one song and play all of the film
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: submissions at once simultaneously on different screens in the same room.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: So you could look at all the different screens playing
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and see all these different interpretations of this one song.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: We got the idea from a museum exhibit we really liked.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So I wrote this.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's not super refined or edited or anything. Also,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of these were written with the intent of
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: being simple.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: In mind.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: So it's like a single narrator, which is sad because
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I want Samantha.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: To be more involved in these. It's okay. The next one,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it should be you. No, thank you. I would love it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I would love it. Speaking of different interpretations, that would
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: be great. I just do my own interpretation of it all. Yes,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I would love it. I would love it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And yes, I did want to release this one as
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: it comes out as Christmas Eve because we are in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the midst of cuffing season, which is a term I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: originally learned from you, Samantha.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It's true. I just had to teach someone else that yesterday. Yes,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: which it is essentially what, like dating time?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Essentially, you want to be cuffed or snuggled up with
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: someone because it is cold and it's the holidays. Ah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Right. Okay. Okay.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And I did just, I also just learned about dating
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: terms like situationships, which is, quote, a romantic or sexual
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: relationship that is not considered to be formal or established,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and roaching, meaning someone is sleeping around with a lot.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Of people while in a relationship. Oh, roaching's new.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm learning new terms all the time
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the dating world. I actually want
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to come back to that and do like a kind
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of terminology update about these things.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: What is sexist and what isn't.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: But that is for later. For now, please sit back, relax,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and enjoy this fiction called The Right to Be Forgotten.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: There once was a man named Will, and Will was
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: in love. Her name was Hannah. Will and Hannah were perfect.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: They adored each other, the kind of love that is
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: pure and fun and steady and unyielding and beautiful.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: The kind that makes people jealous.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: They took goofy pictures together and went on adventures and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: stayed in and knew each other truly, heart and.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Soul, complete. There was no Will without Hannah. They got
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: married in a blur of bright, bright happiness.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: He remembered thinking wildly it was impossible to feel this
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: happy and that he was worthy of it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: And they were going to live happily ever after. But
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: they didn't.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Then Hannah was gone and Will's world was shattered. All
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: meaning was lost. Nothing made sense without Hannah. There was
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: no point without Hannah. Tears, a bone-deep grief, and an
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: unending well of physical aching loss, sitting aimlessly, staring, staring, staring,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: at a picture of them together, so wonderfully willing to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: be silly around each other, so happy, so complete.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: It was night.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: He'd woken up suddenly, gasping, a hand over his racing heart,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: dreaming of Hannah, that he was screaming for her to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: come back, but she couldn't hear him. He blinked away
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the image, eyes adjusting to the dark.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Nothing. Always nothing. He was alone.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: He sat up slowly, the familiar cocoon of grief encasing him.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: He got up, went to the fridge and poured himself
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a glass of water, gulping it down. A picture of
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the two of them, blissful, unknowing, smiled back at him.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Then his skin started to prickle. Cold crept up his spine.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Behind him, a woman sat up in the bed. A
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: woman who had not been there, who could not be there.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It was Hannah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: She looked the same, but different. Hazy around the edges,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: soft focus. She watched him, solemn, still. She was wearing
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: her favorite pajamas, bright suns and stars and moons that
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: clashed with her serious expression.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Will turned.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: He stared in her direction, set his glass down, slowly
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: made his way over to her, sat on the bed
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: next to her, hid his face in his hands, hid
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the tears streaming down his cheeks, tears that should be
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: impossible with how much he'd cried in the past days, weeks, months.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: When he opened his eyes, the woman was gone. He
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: laid down and pulled the covers around him and laid
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: awake until the light turned purple and blue and the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: sun rose and he rose with it to face another
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: meaningless day. The toaster dinged. Hannah was waiting in the kitchen, smiling.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Will blinked once, twice, reached into the cabinet, retrieving a
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: jar of peanut butter. He started slathering on his toast
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: in a numb haze, autopilot, a zombie as he had
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: been since he lost Hannah and a crater was left
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: in his soul, festering. The jar knocked over. Will jumped
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: at the sound, staring at the overturned jar warily. He
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: reached to upright it.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: So did Hannah.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Their hands almost touched. But Hannah pulled away at the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: last second. Will ignored her, tired of the fathomless grief
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: she brought, unwilling and unable to face her. But he'd
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: never been good at ignoring her. And she'd always been persistent.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: He was sitting in traffic, listening to a voicemail from
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: his boss.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Take your time. We understand, she says, though Will knows
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: they don't.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: He hangs up, numb again. all the sound around him
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: falling away in its shadow. Next to his ear, a
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: woman laughed.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: He jerked, whipping around, afraid of what he'd see and
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: what he wouldn't. But there was no one.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: After a long moment, he brought his frantic breathing under
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: control and turned back to the road, tense.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: No one was there, he told himself.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: He sat at his desk, feeling fake and corporeal, as
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: though he might fade from existence at any second. A
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: co-worker approached, her eyes shining with compassion that could not
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: penetrate the sheath of sadness around him.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: How are you? she asked.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: He didn't respond and after a moment, she left. He
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: turned back to his laptop, eyes burning, throat tight, so
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: utterly dead inside and wondering if it might be better
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: to be dead outside too. An image of Hannah pops
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: up in his social media feed, smiling, happy. He snapped
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the lid of his laptop shut. He stands up roughly,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: his chair rolling away, loud in the quiet space. He left,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: his steps quick, imagining Hannah was right behind him, the
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: weight of her gaze unbearable. He drives home, turning up
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the radio as loud as it will go, desperate to
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: drown everything out, to drown her out. The song is
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: so loud he can barely hear his own voice as
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: he joins in, belting out the lyrics, determined to feel
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: something else, to think of anything else. or not think
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: at all to prove to himself that he could be happy.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: He glanced at the.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Passenger side, and Hannah was there, shouting the words along
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: with him. His heart stuttered to a stop, and he
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: jerked the wheel.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Another driver honking at him.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: He swallowed, tamping back his panic, ramrod still, determined not
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: to look back at the passenger seat, even though it
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: took everything he had not to. When he got home,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: He shakily opened his laptop, navigating to the pictures folder.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: He began deleting them with self-destructive impulsivity, determined to erase
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: her from his life. Hannah watched him from the door,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: her arms crossed. He refused to look at her. She
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: pushed herself off the frame, slowly taking the seat next
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to him. He tensed but did not turn. Tears burned
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: in his eyes. Hannah's pixelated face stared back at him,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: her usual blinding smile almost obscured by the gray notification
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: asking him if he was sure he wanted to permanently
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: delete these items. He hovered the mouse over the image
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: indecisively as Hannah watched. He closed that at the notification,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: breathing ragged. He called his best friend, overcome with desperation.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: He hesitated, heart racing, before he said, I've been seeing her, Hannah. Hannah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: His friend was clearly taken aback. Where? He asked.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Everywhere, Will whispered. In my apartment, my office, my car,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: my bed. Like a ghost or something? His friend asked.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Will didn't respond.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: He couldn't. And the words hung dead between them.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: His friend said he was worried about him. That loss
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: can mess with people. Asked if he was okay. He
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: wasn't okay. Hannah was gone. Of course he wasn't okay.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: He was eating takeout, mindlessly watching something on TV, something
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: he'd never seen before but didn't care about so as
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: not to trigger any memories of Hannah. But she was
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: there anyway. She was at his side, standing over him, shouting, muffled, distorted.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: He turned the volume up. The next morning, he woke
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: out of a restless sleep to the sound of water
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: running The shower, he realized after a moment. Dread and
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: anticipation gripped him, and as if in a dream, he
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: stood and slowly made his way to the bathroom, heart
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: drumming in his ears. As he got closer, he could
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: hear a woman humming. He held his breath as he
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: gently pushed the bathroom door open. Through the shower curtain,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: he saw the silhouette of a woman. He jerked away,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: leaning heavily against the sink, heart galloping, panting. He squeezed
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: his eyes shut, took a slow breath, then another. The
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: humming cut off abruptly, as did the sound of running water. Still,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: he kept his eyes shut for a long moment before
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: he had the courage to open them.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: The woman was gone. She was gone. That should be
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: a relief.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Right? Then why did he feel such monumental love? His
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: whole body trembled as he turned back to the sink.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: His eyes landed on a glass with two toothbrushes in them. Suddenly,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: he picked one up and threw it away. Will softly
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: drank his beer. It was night and he was cooking.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Music played. The tears in his eyes made the light
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: both too bright and too blurry. He saw her and smiled.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: She was laughing and joking and dancing like they used to.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: But she's not real, he told himself. She's not real.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: The song, soft at first, gets louder and louder. That night,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: he couldn't sleep. Hannah wasn't there. He unlocked his phone,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: the blue light garish in the dark. He was crying again,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: but he almost didn't notice. He shook when he opened
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the video he'd been avoiding ever since his life was
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: torn asunder. The sight of her, shining, happy, laughing, twirling
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: around in a wedding dress, brought a gas to his lips.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Fairy lights illuminate her in the dark.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Will sobbed at the soothing sounds of her life that
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: were now like a knife ripping him apart and exposing him.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Her smile, her happiness, a condemnation. Another man stepped into frame,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: beaming at her, hugging her to him. Will's heart stuttered, dropped.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: They were in love. Hannah had moved on and found
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: love with another man. People crowded them, laughing, smiling, the
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: music soft and sweet. They looked at each other, the
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: look in her eyes, the same look she used to
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: fix on Will, as though she really saw him and
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: saw the good in him, the value, and loved him,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: cared for him.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: And she had.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: But now she had moved on to another person, And
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Will was alone with only the ghost of her. Memories
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: like a haunting keeping him from moving on. She'll fade,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: people told him. But Will didn't want her to fade.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: There was no Will without Hannah. He was a fragment
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: without her. The ghost of her would haunt him forever.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Anytime he laughed or cried or drank that beer that
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: she loved or watched that movie that made her laugh
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: or sat on their couch or did or felt anything
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: because they did everything possible experienced everything together. But at
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: least the ghost of her was better than not having
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: her in his life at all. That brings us to
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the end of this fiction portion. I know you're probably mad.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I know you're probably mad at the ending. I like
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: to call this one the reverse sixth sense.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh. Yeah, yep.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: The name comes from this legal push from a few
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: years ago where a man was suing companies like Google
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: for the quote, right to be forgotten. And it's become
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: somewhat of a term in regards to the internet and
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: data collection and this whole idea of the right to
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: be forgotten or to know what data is being collected
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: and to have control over it. And again, I don't
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: know why, but I really like applying these technical terms
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: to human nature. Other titles were The Ghost of You
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: in a Modern Day Fairy Tale. But this one has
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: also been on my mind because I've been thinking about
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the power of breakup stories and how a breakup can.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Really wreck you and your life and I.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Just, like, all those things where you see pieces of
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: the other person everywhere, of the life you had everywhere,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: all the things and items and places that remind you
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: of times you spent together. I don't know. It feels
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: like a ghost to me. It feels like something hanging over. Like,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: it's always there, whether you want it to be or not.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: And I've also been thinking... Because we were talking about...
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: This year has been called the year of the breakup
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: album with Taylor Swift and Adele dominating the charts. And
• 19:30
