The story begins with a description of the cold wilderness that the main character is living in. It describes an eirie feeling and that the main character gets prepared to leave the trailer and go out into the cold and snowy woods. The main character challenges himself to move as quietly as possible through the snow until he hears something else outside with him. The character sees a deer that is described to be a once in a lifetime find, but something about it doesn’t seem right. The deer is eating a rabbit, which is not normal because deer only eat plants. The main character starts to run as he gets chased by the deer until he finds himself back at the trailer and stops right in front of it. He listens, then turns around and goes back into the woods as the story ends.

Glynn Washington, the host of the Spooked Podcast, uses many of the audio techniques that are explained in the earlier parts of this unit. The main one that stuck out to me was his pacing of his voice. He speaks slowly and takes a lot of pauses which creates tension and suspense as the story is told. The pauses also make it seem like he is actually telling the events from memory as if they happened. It makes the story seem much more genuine because it takes a second to think about the details of what happened.

The music and sound effects that are included in the story also contributed to the overall spooky feel of the story. It starts off with some slow jazzy music because there is not a lot of tension at the beginning. However, as the story continues, the music quiets and turns to more suspenseful sound effects. The background effects get more intense as the story does. It peaks as the main character is getting chased. There are sound effects of the monster chasing the main character with spooky suspenseful music. At the end, it is silent except for Washington’s voice because to make the listener focus on the twist ending. The silence after all the dramatic suspenseful sounds makes it seem like there is more to the story but then it comes to an abrupt end.
