Tales to Terrify

Welcome to Episode 471. This week, we’re taking a break from our travels again to catch up on a few things. For fiction, we have two tales for you: First, we get a new appreciation for the phrase, “be careful what you wish for.” Then, a man at his mother’s death bed finds her final moments even more traumatic than he could have imagined.
