MusicScape Storyline Presents: The Lottery

Written by Armando Heredia

Some decisions cost you everything. Others just cost two dollars.

In a neighborhood where “needs and bad decisions” define the rhythm of life, Bento is just trying to stay invisible. He clings to a single ritual: purchasing a weekly lottery ticket. He plays the same numbers every time—the date his mother was incarcerated—holding onto a desperate hope for a different future.

But in the barrio, hope is a dangerous thing.

When the local gang, Los Morenos, backs Bento into a corner, he is forced to trade his invisibility for a mask. Dragged into a bank heist he never wanted, Bento faces a choice that will change his life forever: become the criminal they expect him to be or rewrite his own story in a “blaze of glory”.

“The Lottery” is the latest MusicScape Storyline, a lyric audiobook that immerses you in the high-stakes tension of a robbery gone wrong. Experience the adrenaline of the heist, the chaos of the standoff, and the crushing irony of fate as Bento discovers that “getting out” might happen in ways he never expected.

As the sirens wail and the news tickers scroll, Bento will learn the true value of his “lucky numbers”.

Will he make it out alive? Or was his luck running out the moment he bought the ticket?

“Forgiveness was the sermon he preached. Vengeance is the path he now walks.”

Experience In The Name of the Father, a harrowing MusicScape Storyline by Armando Heredia that drags you into the sweltering shadows of a Southern Gothic Noir.

When a small-town preacher loses his son to an overdose, he abandons his flock and his faith to track down the three men he holds responsible. This is not just a story you hear; it is a sonic descent into grief and retribution. Across eight interconnected tracks—from the heartbreaking “Hard To Say” to the climactic “Common Man (Send Me)”—the narrative unfolds through a fusion of spoken word, lyrical storytelling, and atmospheric composition.

Witness a father’s transformation from a man of peace to an angel of death in this groundbreaking lyric audiobook experience.

A Lyrical Thriller in Verse: The Past Never Sleeps

For twenty years, he lived in silence as Abuelo, a gentle grandfather in the Tennessee backwoods. But when a bag of bloody evidence is dumped on his land, the carefully buried past claws its way to the surface. The local criminals who come to retrieve it believe they are dealing with a harmless old man. They are tragically mistaken.

The Abuelo is a relentless, novel-length narrative poem that unfolds chapter by chapter like a tense cinematic score. Each section—from The Lion Awakes to War (The Finale)—is a self-contained lyrical set, blending the raw pulse of noir with the haunting rhythm of a ballad. Through spare, powerful verse, author Armando Heredia crafts a gripping story of identity, consequence, and the terrifying awakening of El León de San Pedro—a legend once feared across continents.

This volume is the essential companion to the immersive audio experience of MusicScape Storyline Presents: The Abuelo. Here, the evocative lyrics stand alone on the page, allowing readers to savor the suspenseful cadence and stark beauty of the language. Follow the collision of two worlds: the quiet life of a man who escaped violence, and the brutal reckoning that arrives at his door.

Ideal for fans of narrative poetry, gritty crime fiction, and timeless tales of retribution, The Abuelo proves that some legends are only waiting for a reason to roar again.
