Hey friends, it's Mr. Jim and welcome back to Kit Short stories.

If this is your first time, welcome to the family. We are the podcast that turns your ideas into an amazing

Check down in the show notes below for how you can submit your own story idea and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome adventure.
