Hey everyone.

Before we get to today's stories, I just wanted to send out a quick thank you to all the writers who saw our story submission call on social media and sent in stories.

The call was for male POV stories, as we only have a few left.

And before that, it was for female POV, so it makes sense we go back and forth like that.

Just as a reminder, our submissions are always open for male or female POV, and we love when the POV is gender neutral so any of our narrators can read the stories.

And thank you to those of you who have already been sending in 31 days of horror stories.

The sooner we can get those in, the better.

And I do want to make sure that any writers out there who haven't had luck getting their stories accepted don't get too down on themselves.

I know it doesn't feel great to have your story passed on, but we just can't accept all stories, even if we'd love to be able to take everything that gets sent our way.

Creepypod.com slash submissions outlines what we're looking for, and even then, sometimes it just doesn't seem like a good fit.

That's not a knock on the writing.

It's just if we think the story fits with how we do the show.

So please, keep writing and submitting.

I still very clearly remember how it felt to get my first story accepted from No Sleep, and it still remains one of my favorite parts of podcasting, getting to pass that feeling on to others.

You got this.

Oh, and a quick shout out to No Sleep, who just passed their 15th anniversary.

I think that I've talked them up enough in the past, but if not, and you haven't listened to No Sleep, come on, go check them out.

Okay, enough of this old and improved John who's positive instead of, well, what I have been.

Let's get on with horror.

First up, in a strange world where people can leave their skin behind, a lonely abandoned skin sets out on a desperate journey to find a body that will truly love and need it.
