Rest in Chaos reading · 8:20pm April 1st

Rest in Chaos is a story that really seems to fire up the dramatic reading impulse for some reason. I think it's because it's short and sweet. Just Dodge! is also a dark comedy about Discord, with almost exactly as many views and likes, as well as way more comments, but it's also about six times the length. No wonder then, I suppose that Rest in Chaos has just received another dramatic reading. How many is that now? Four? Five?
