with another 26 assorted tales of unpredictable turns. Follow along into the realm just beyond the shadows—and into
the unknown. -Excerpt- “Guys?” He craned his neck, peering into the woods. Terrified, Kenny focused back to
the mine. Deep within, a small white light passed back and forth. Kenny squeezed his eyes shut. “Please let it be Jim
and Mark.” He peeked, first with one eye then the other. His jaw dropped and tears pooled. --From The Ride~
