Summary
Night Vale is full of stories. Some say the city used to be protected by monsters living in the sands of the desert, but the truth has been lost to time. Earl Harlan is certain he’s met one of these monsters, and he won’t stop telling his story until someone believes him or he finds another monster.

Summary
"There is a place at the landfill where you can put that summer. You know, that summer. You went to the beach that summer. Everything seemed great. You had cool sunglasses that made you feel cool. Everybody's coconut-scented bodies were sliding around on each other.
And you did things you weren't proud of. You don't remember what they were anymore. It was so long ago. But they're always there, those things, always hanging around in a sandy corner of your mind."

Summary
“You’re not from here,” he said.
“No,” Carlos said. He found no reason to deny it. It was true.
“Do you get how this all works?”
“I do,” Carlos lied. He didn’t, not really. An educated guess was not the same as a positive conclusion. This man, he was sure, did not need to be explained the nuances of the human mind's ability to comprehend. The man hummed, leaning into Carlos’ personal space to grab something off the shelf to his left. The smell of moth balls wafted off of him as his too tight suit strained against his movement.
“See, that’s why we showed you the door in the desert that day,” he sighed. His breath was a hot, stale puff of air on the back of Carlos’ neck. The beeping of the scanner seemed far away, and for a moment Carlos felt as if he were falling into a very deep, dark hole. The man in the ill-fitting suit pulled away, thick fingers wrapped around a no-name candy bar. “You didn’t seem to get the hint.”
A story about how being remembered requires having been known.

I Survived My Nightvale Community Radio Intership and All I Got Was This Stupid Mug by lemonace

Summary
“Listeners, a new intern came to work at the station today. I do not remember hiring this particular intern. Intern Maureen informed me her new co-worker is a high schooler… The Nightvale Community Radio Internship Program does not take high schoolers. We have no idea who this new intern is or how he knows how to make such an excellent coffee but if he is here we can only assume that Station Management wants him here. I fear for the new kid, I fear for all the things he didn’t know being trusted into a job he never asked for. More news as they develop.”
Maureen really would like to have a calm day at work. Preferentially one where weird things didn’t happen and her co-workers didn’t die daily. Honestly, she really should have picked the library internship. Yes, the librarians were feral dangerous monsters but at least they didn’t write Jaws fanfic! Worrying about an adorable cringe teenager and the complicated danger of time was not on her plans. At least Carlos is up to help.

Summary
Cecil wanted to comply, he truly did. Carlos seemed so desperate and sad and afraid, but it was out of his control. He wished he could speak well enough to apologize.
"Cecil! CECIL!"
And then everything went black.
"Press 4 if you need to report a missing venomous pet," spoke the automated line on the other end of Carlos' phone from its abandoned spot on the wooden floor.
"Press 85 to know the location of Night Vale's newly invisible and non-functioning hospital."
