In two days on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, something was tapping on the window. Blowing up against the pane, again and again. Carried by the wind. Tapping faintly, insistently. Lori, sitting on the couch, pretended not to hear. She gripped her book tightly and turned a page. The tapping came again, louder, and more imperative. It could not be ignored. Of Withered Apples by Philip K. Dick. That\\u2019s this week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
