'The Stumbling Shepherd' by Cody, H. A begins in the quiet study of Reverend Daniel Landrose, where a misplaced book unravels his carefully ordered world, setting off a chain of unsettling thoughts. For forty years, he has upheld the importance of structure and discipline, both in his personal life and as a shepherd to his flock. Yet, the disarray in his beloved collection triggers a disquieting introspection. As he seeks solace in the warm glow of the fire, doubts gnaw at his mind, questioning his own mental acuity.
