DARION CORMIER

Someone sent you this.

If someone sent you one of my pieces, there’s probably a reason.

You don’t have to figure out what it was.

I’m Darion Cormier.

I write short stories about ordinary life, meant to be listened to.

The moments we usually pass through without noticing. The few minutes in the car before going inside. The things we keep carrying because we’ve gotten used to their weight. The rooms in our lives we quietly learn to walk around.

The Carrying is the first season. Five audio essays about those kinds of moments.

You can start wherever you’d like.

THE CARRYING

Season One

Five audio essays about the invisible things we carry, and the ordinary moments that reveal them.

01 The Car in the Driveway On the minutes you take before you go back in. Listen → 02 The Coat You Never Take Off On what you’ve been picking up without noticing. Listen → 03 The Door You Don’t Open On the room you’ve been walking past. Listen → 04 What They Call You For On being needed, and what sits underneath it. Listen → 05 The Field in Winter On the season nobody photographs. Listen →

LETTERS

If you’d like to stay.

I send new pieces, occasional notes, and the next things I’m working on through Letters.

No need to catch up first. You can come in wherever you are.

Stay for the Letters

And if someone sent you here, maybe send them a note when you’re done.
