PodCastle 495: Shadow Man, Sack Man, Half Dark, Half Light
Shadow Man, Sack Man, Half Dark, Half Light
By Malon Edwards
You keep running, even though you know you can’t escape the fifty-foot-tall Pogo. But you were built for this.
You are taller than all of the girls and most of the boys in your Covey Four class. Your legs are longer. Your steam-clock heart is stronger. Your determination is unmatched. Even against the rocks they throw. Even against the insults they hurl. Even when they entimide you and chase you home after school every day, all because your mother could not save their friends.
They have not caught you yet. And they never will. Because you will not let them.
