    About this ebook

    SHADOWS OF THE PAST AND OTHER STORIES is comprised of three stories. The first story is called "Cody". "Cody"is the story of a man and his son. The man has an accident and makes a discovery about his son. The second story is called "A Helping Hand". It takes place in a dark alley one night with two of the most powerful lords of the cosmos. These two legendary leviathans give us a peek into how the world works behind the veil of everything we think we know. The last story is "Shadows of the Past". This story is about the inner workings of the mind. One man's bypassing of past predicaments manifests themselves into something more. The manifestation takes form when the man's patience is a virtue he can't afford to lose.
