● Salutations, dark passengers, and thank you for taking the time to listen to this story. "Shine for a Penny?" brings us to the American midwest in the 1800s, wherein a professional fraud finds himself thrust into witnessing things in the woods he'd never imagined, despite forgery of stories being his trade. I hope you enjoy this rendition of "Shine for a Penny?" by J.M. Nelson!
