Unfortunately, his temporary job lands him and ex-Marshal Amelia Crockett in the middle of a town whose population has mysteriously vanished. To make matters worse, there are terrifying monsters lurking in the shadows, and Todd and Amy's fellow travelers are growing increasingly paranoid. Fighting the creatures is impossible. The only option is escape. There's just one problem...when the Shadders are hunting you, you must never, ever run... This short story is available from Kyle Robert Shultz's Patreon page.
