Signal Drift: Chapter 10
Bill’s back. The Beetle Bomb is real. The transmitter site might just have power. Chapter 10 of Signal Drift kicks off a new phase in the story with hidden stashes, solar surprises, and 2,000 bottle rockets lighting up the sky. Oh—and there’s a whole room full of hand-crank radios waiting for a reason to be used.
Signal Drift: Chapter 9
Cronauer took a step closer, then another. He laughed, then choked, then laughed harder—tears forming before he could stop them.
“You kept it,” he said, voice cracking. “Jesus Christ, I thought it got crushed.”
Bill grinned and gave the truck’s fender a smack. “Still runs. Still kicks. She’s been resting, but she’s hungry.”
Across the tailgate, in faded black spray paint, the name still read: THE BEETLE BOMB.
Signal Drift: Chapter 8
Cronauer has been walking for days, sleeping in abandoned sheds and listening to static on the radio — until a clipped, coded broadcast near Richland Center sparks something familiar. The Viroqua repeater is offline, and it sounds like Norm’s voice behind the warning. Now, with the rain returning and Viroqua on the horizon, he pushes forward — hoping he’s not too late.
Signal Drift: Chapter 7
Cronauer’s breath fogs in the cold air as he weaves through ghost towns, surviving on instinct and static. But near Richland Center, he hears something unmistakable—a clipped broadcast about the Viroqua repeater going silent. It’s not just the words that catch him. It’s the style. Norm’s style. He’s close now. And if the roads still follow the old maps, Viroqua waits just over the ridge.
Over The Air Broadcast 2 AM to 5 AM C.S.T. Tuesday Morning
