Care Protocol — An Original Limited Series

by Don McDonald

For four years, nobody in Portland died by violence on a public street. Then, in a single week, five people do. A software engineer waiting for a ride. A pharmacy tech on the Fremont Bridge. A retired advisor in a parking garage. A man carrying groceries in from the curb. A kindergarten teacher, sixty-eight years old, waiting in her own driveway. Five strangers, and not one connection anybody can find. Until FBI agent Maya Restrepo goes back forty years and finds it. Every one of them had done something. Every one of them had walked away from it. And in a place where nobody should have been able to write anything at all, somebody is leaving sentences. Care Protocol. A four part serial thriller, written and narrated by Don McDonald. Episodes one and two premiere September 9. New episodes Wednesdays. Care Protocol is a Short Storyverses production. Short Storyverses is a multiverse of fiction podcasts featuring more than one hundred stories, and none of them cost anything. Check them out at shortstoryverses.com. Hosted on Acast.
