BONUS Story - "My Shadows"
In our second "free to the public during pandemic" Patreon post, we bring our first $5 tier benefit - a bonus story!

I will give you plenty of heads up before I turn billing back on sometime this Summer so you can cancel if you want, but, it would be a great help to me and my fam during this time!

This was my first horror story that I wrote a couple of years ago while I was trying to formulate what would become the "This Present Darkness" podcast In this story, we find there is beauty in the unseen and uncertain. ©️Paradox Media 2020 -
