You are listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast with your host and narrator, Kate Baker.

Greetings, Clarksville citizens.

I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

Welcome to the second story for the month of September, issue 180.

Hope you're enjoying these stories thus far.

We have some more stories coming to you for the rest of the month, so I hope you can come

back and listen.

And I want to thank you for your ongoing support of this magazine, whether you visit us

on patreon.com for a slash Clarksworld or you spread the word by Twitter or send us emails.

It is greatly appreciated.

So this is your first podcast or your over 600th podcast or somewhere in the middle.

Thank you for spending this time with me and the authors here at Clarksworld.

Our story is titled.

It is a pleasure to receive you and is by Ziggy Shuts.

Ziggy Shuts?

She, her, he, him is a queer disabled writer who is at all times looking for ways to make

his favorite fairy tales and sci-fi tropes reflect people who look a little more like her.

When he's not writing, she's spending his time exploring haunted houses and chatting

up the ghosts who live there.

This is not a bit.

So my dear listener, I hope that you can sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story.

If one wants to feel small, all one has to do is look up at the sky on a clear night.
