Sudetenland Tales

Wendell bought an old trailer, moved it to an unincorporated patch of land over the Sudetenland border in the woods of Grants, and began broadcasting his own frequency; from a hand built, low watt radio tower he called "The Needle." He went on air nightly, monotone, but simultaneously with an air of urgency.
Wendell had set up shop on a public access TV show. He pointed to weather patterns, sudden animal migrations, unexpected outages. "They're tuning the receivers," he said, "testing mass modulation."
Still, no one could prove a thing.
"They adjust our sleep. Modulate our empathy. Trigger population wide moods via subtle electromagnetic pulses. And we accept it as vibes and weather."
His audience was small. Fringe. But loyal.
Then strange things began to happen.
Wendell's station was jammed; but only from 2:16 to 2:24 every night.
Local squirrels began migrating in strange, geometric patterns.
