S1E4 - S1E2 - File 2.2: The Sixth Floor
When the floor plan doesn’t match the building, neither does the story...
Episode Notes
After a failed visit to the hospital and a hand-delivered letter addressed to “Cordelia - 6th Floor,” the so-called internal audit grows stranger still. A white van appears to be tailing her, familiar files keep evaporating, and an unlocked stairwell leads to an empty department that shouldn’t exist.
When Rosalind, the one colleague willing to help her untangle what’s happening, agrees to investigate the sixth floor with her, they uncover far more questions than answers. But whatever Rosalind encounters in the East Stairwell leaves her quiet, shaken… and unwilling to talk.
Something inside Epsilon Suites has shifted. And whatever’s behind it is closing in....
Severed Connections is a found-audio drama told entirely through voicemail messages.

Writer, Director & Producer
Yvette is the creator of Severed Connections, responsible for writing, directing, and producing the series.
Working alongside Elowen Black’s “recovered transmissions,” she shapes the fragmented recordings into a coherent narrative - organising, restoring, and interpreting the voicemail files released to the public.
Her work blends grounded character drama with escalating mystery, focusing on tension, emotional realism, and slow-burn suspense. Severed Connections is her flagship audio drama project, developed as a showcase of narrative craft and worldbuilding, with additional scripted projects currently underway.
When she’s not assembling the archive, she works across screenwriting, audio production, and immersive storytelling - specialising in building tightly structured thriller narratives with strong character psychology at their core.
The voice you hear is not hers.
That voice still exists - but it no longer travels safely. So it has been filtered, translated, and carefully re-spoken by someone else.
For these messages, I turned to a performer with an instinct for control. She understands when not to push, when silence says more than urgency ever could. The calm you hear isn’t confidence - it’s self-preservation.
Listen closely and you’ll notice the strain lives just beneath the surface. The words are measured. The pauses deliberate. This isn’t someone telling a story - it’s someone choosing, moment by moment, what can safely be said.
By Episode Two, the danger isn’t abstract anymore.
And neither is the voice carrying it.
