EP Flash: One Million Years B.F.E. (http://escapepod.org/2006/02/14/ep-flash-one-million-years-bfe/)

By Merrie Haskell (http://www.merriehaskell.com/).
Read by Deborah Green.

Am determined to become strong, lithe, deadly, noble cave-woman type figure, √° la Ayla of Clan of the Cave Bear. I will fashion stone tools, hunt and gather food and live pristine, pure life of Homo Erectus-type person–at one with nature. Ah. Air is so fresh. Quite lovely.

Rated G. Contains ignoble savagery and predomestic strife.

Haha, this one was quite fun, especially her certainty that her anthropology degree makes her qualified to live unassisted in nature without resources.  In particular, her assumption at the beginning that anyone can survive in any setting on only 20 hours a week was ridiculously funny.  And the idea of time banishment as a punishment was an interesting one as well.
