## Resource

Luna stands in a field of tall grass, holding Esther's photograph, with the shadow child at the edge. She follows the child into a sun-bleached version of Sycamore Ridge where the church has no steeple and the third lamp is a rusted iron pole. A woman who calls herself the keeper of the name offers Luna a choice: walk into the field and forget, or enter the church and remember everything, including the name she was born with. Luna learns that Esther is not the one who borrowed her name—it was borrowed by her grandmother to save Luna from the cycle. But that means Luna is the one who must give it back. The episode ends with Luna standing at the church door, her hand on the handle, as the shadow child whispers her true name for the first time. #SycamoreRidge #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Episode70 #ShadowChild #Esther #FieldOfTallGrass #ChurchWithoutSteeple #BorrowedName #KeeperOfTheName #TrueName #Forgetting #Remembering #Cycle #Photograph #Luna #Grandmother #BeechStreet Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
