Thank you. From the blackest corners of your mind, they call, pulling you deep into shadow, twisting your senses, keeping you from sleep.

It's time to face your darkest fears.

This is Tales to Terrify. Good evening, children of the night, and welcome. I'd like to kick things off this week with something a little different and not strictly

podcast related. Our very own Pete Morsellino has signed up for a very meaningful challenge,

something called the ration challenge, and he needs our support. For one week, from June 13th to 19th, Pete will eat the same rations as a Syrian

refugee living in a camp in Jordan, just a small amount of rice, flour, lentils, chickpeas,

beans, fish or tofu, and oil. That's it. No coffee, no sugar, none of the usual creature

comforts we are used to. As somebody privileged enough to be born and raised in a first world country,

that sounds pretty tough to me. The money raised by Pete's participation in this challenge goes toward helping

to bring emergency food, health care, and life-saving support to people who need it most. By helping

Pete hit his goals, you'll be helping to make lives for people who've lost everything, just a little more bearable,

and also giving Pete access to additional rewards he can redeem for extras to make the week a little less daunting.

We don't often share things like this on the show, but this is such an amazing cause,

and I'd love to help Pete make as big of an impact as he can.

I really hope you'll join me.
