Smile Grove

Smile Grove is a semi-serialized dramatic horror podcast focused on exploring mental health, and the fears those fighting against it might experience.Nikolai, a weary husk of a once-hopeful person left to corrode in their own mental dissonance, Storm, an uprising troublemaker intent on seizing the attention of those around him, Grey, a precocious teen who struggles to grapple with what he doesn't understand, and Tida, a fearful girl who finds light in dark places yet grapples with her own inner demons, are brought into a mental facility with the hopes of reversing traumas and healing old wounds. Though perpetual meddling from a less than virtuous psychiatrist, Dr. Grover, and even the vile wills of those who observe, the patients soon learn that the opposite is bound to happen.

Attention, my darling patients of Smile Grove. You might well know that today is the 24th day of December. If you do, please stop trying to sneak into my office. I know where the calendars are and you won't last the rest of the year at this rate if you keep these antics up.

With all that out of the way, I'd just like to wish you a Merry Christmas. I apologize for failing to look up any of the other religious holidays to see which fall closest to tomorrow, but I assure you that I don't care. Besides, I have good news! Tomorrow's meals have an added treat of hot chocolate and marshmallows for each of you. Dinner, however, will only have three mugs of the delightful treat available, so you'll have to share. That's just how the math works out and we only have so many boxes of the stuff.

Well, that's that! Sweet dreams, everyone. If you hear any jingling on the roof, find any mysterious boxes laying out, or see any of your fellow patients trying to affix their clothing to the wall in hopes that it gets filled with treats by an unseen invader in the night... Please report it first thing in the morning. That is all! Good night, everyone.

Lights out!
