I wrote this short story originally on my blog, as a Halloween piece of short story writing. It is a continuation of an idea that I intend to develop for a second novel, with the main protagonist being a male shadow being... called Ryder. If you are reading The Curse of Time, you will have already met Ryder.... There are several short stories that I have written on my blog exploring different ideas and themes for a second book. This is just one of them. Hope you enjoy, please do feel free to share, and comment. Thanks.
