A father is awakened by the frightened cries of his child. Will he allay the boy's fears and get a little sleep?

Afterward, Big and Rish talk about the failed initial intention of this story, and give a sort of state of the podcast address. If you're good, there will be no singing.

Oh, and by the way, it's coming down to the wire.  Finish up those OSSE Stories.  We can't wait to see them.

Big and Rish talk a bit about the fear of losing control of one’s free will and/or body. They’re pretty silly this episode, so be warned.

And don’t forget, where stalks the Reaper, there follows the corby.

Also, the October Scary Story Event is going on now. There’s still time to at least write a flash story.

Also Big and Rish talk about different kinds of zombies, experiences with the military, and we get the return of one of your favorite features of yesteryear.  Don't miss it!

Don't forget that the October Scary Story Event is going on now.  You really ought to get started.

When a father makes up a ghost story to scare his child out of the bad habit of tattling, something strange happens.  How much can belief alter reality?
