Audio fiction friends, let's boost this! An incredible sounding musical audio drama is currently crowdfunding. It's produced by two women of colour and looks gorgeous. Musicals always cost a lot to make, so let's spread the word and help it happen!

We report: over the mountains, the clouds march forever, snagging on the tops, filing them down with the use of rain and time. It is the oldest story that clouds can tell, and it has not ended yet. We do our part by retracing the steps that others have walked before us.

We report in the brittle sunset light: we watch the clock in the evening lately. With only a few days left in May, we pay extra attention to how much sunlight we get, and like a patient stretch, we do see the minutes add up. Just a little bit more day, every day.

We report: we are headed for a dark, cloudy night under the new moon. The birds are slowly quieting, and the wind is dying down to a whisper. The humidity that has built over the past few days has our head retreating between our shoulders. We get startled by a passing train.

We report after the rain has passed: we watch the clouds move on, and we understand the volume of water that just hammered the windows a little bit better. The glass panes are still blurry with beads of rain, and there is a steady stream running in the gutters.

We report: it is windy like it has not been in a long while, and now that all the trees are full of leaves, their rustling sounds like a clamour. The wind shear is streaking through the clouds in a confusing pattern, and the sunshine wavers with the movement of the branches.

We report as we are waking up for the third time this morning: there is a couple of magpies loudly bickering in a tree nearby, in the manner that befits them. The cackling and the strange whirring sounds have been piercing through our dreams every time we fall back asleep.

We report: while the sun was setting, we watched as lights blinked on in the distance. We and everyone else trying to prolong the day, stretch it a little further, though the light was gone. We tried to hold off on our own lights til our eyes stung from squinting in the dark.

We report while the evening is beginning to burn the afternoon light away: there is unshed rain in the shadows of the sky, and there are motes of dust taking all the sunshine for themselves. It is one of those decisive moments of the day when everything shifts so much faster.

We report: after many tribulations, we are confident that this is planet Earth - what with the sky, the grass, the bearable temperature, and the breathable air. We feel smaller than ever before under these billowing columns of steam. Our expert did not miss their pollen allergy.

We report as the sun rises from a below freezing night: we are certain that we found the right solar system, but we are not so sure about the planet. The sun is tiny and cold, and the sky is strange and empty. Our expert is taking a close look at the dust that covers everything.

We report: we got very, very lost at some point tonight. We took a couple of wrong rights, and certainly could have used a map or two along the way. We now find ourselves very far from home; we shall hope for our own safe return. We only need to find the correct north star.

We report a little while after sunrise, and the clouds are carefully closing in on every last bit of clear sky. Enough of sunshine for today, they tell us, now we shall meet darkness once again. While we listen, we can see the sky opening up on the other side of the horizon.

We report: we are witnessing the formation of the crispest, purest cirrus that we have every seen. Their shapes are full of intent, bold leaps into the heights of the troposphere. As they keep developing, we almost think we hear a sharp, crystalline hiss when they collide.

We report in the not quite bright, but certainly early morning: over the harbour, the sky actually seems to be darkening instead of brightening. We hear the wind growing stronger in the clinking of the sailboat masts, the agitation of the gulls. We can smell nothing but brine.

We report: the mist is keeping us close to Earth this morning. Down here in marshy lands, the unknowable, hungry, peaty soil seems to want us whole, engulfing each of our steps. The fog rolls over us in absolute silence. Our eyelids threaten to cede to gravity in semi-darkness.

We report while the rain is starting to drown out our conversation with our expert: out on the seafront, there is promise for more of the same. The clouds all seem on the verge of giving, wave after wave of heavy clouds. The millions of raindrops have turned the sea matte.

We report: just east of the sun, the light is scattering endlessly, crossing through the spectrum several times over. We live in that space for a moment, somewhere between indigo and cyan, or orange and magenta. The diffraction is still happening on our eyelids when we blink.

We report while the last lights of sunset go out: even on such an overcast day, we notice how bright the evenings of mid-spring are. It has rained a lot today, the air smells like a million different things, and the birds are singing louder than ever. The pink lingers in the sky.

We report: a night such as this one, when we fell asleep to the sound of beating rain on the roof, we would not have anticipated the moon to be present. As it were, it was there almost through the night, a presence unaffected by the elements, highlighting the rain with its rays.

We report under a busy sky: the swifts are flying at eye level, smooth, low arcs to catch pollen beetles and flies. There is warmth suspended in the air, but each gust of wind shakes it; we feel the crisp humidity against our cheeks. Somewhere in the low grass, crickets chirp.

We report: so it goes that we find ourselves again staring at the brightest source of light we could possibly find. We do this with the high hopes of finding a halo, or any type of iridescence; we are fully aware that if is there, we will likely not see it with the naked eye.

We report in the late evening: it is all a bit much. The wind is strong and blowing from an unusual direction, the clouds are expanding to monstrous proportions, and the light feels apocalyptic in nature. When it starts raining, it seems like an appropriate climax to the sunset.

We report: we know the moon is somewhere up there, busy getting rounder, but we can only tell because of how bright this night is. We can just about find our way, with only minimal tripping on roots. It has not rained in a little while here, and it smells like pine and dust.

We report rainbow weather: a spring shower is meeting the course of the sun, and it is difficult to see much of anything between the rain and the light in our eyes. The rain is falling harder than we had expected, but the sun is also shining brighter, loud in a different way.

We report in the mid-afternoon: the sky is at its bluest, and the sun is at its brightest, yet we feel something cool in the breeze. It has been a warm spring so far, and we now realise how fast we got used to the mild temperatures. We long for the jacket we left in the car.

We report: the first few days of May happened like a drawn-out sigh, a spill of warmth and light. Spring is now rolling out at full speed, and we remember now how hungry green can be, crawling onto pavements and walls and trees. The sunset seems a weak attempt at stopping it.

We report: we have seen the slim crescent of the moon during daytime this week, always for a few seconds while we were looking for something else in the sky. To see it glow in the twilight hours moves something in our chest, and we step back to get a better look at it.
