Hi everyone. My name is Otis Gray and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep.

I hope you are having a nice transition into fall. I've

for one have been surprised. How excited I was once the weather started getting cold.

I was really loving summer and not looking forward to autumn but this brisk weather has been fantastic

and really great for sleeping. So I hope it has been for you too.

I've got a wonderful bedtime story for you tonight but before we start I would like to thank

all of our brand new patrons on patreon.com. Steve Pickett, Ingrid, Golisman, Wemimo, Jordan,

Sheryl Chase, and Sebastian Regenball. And for anyone who doesn't know, all of these wonderful

names that I just read are brand new supporters of Sleepy on patreon.com which is a website where you

can go and support creators of the work that you like. So with the Sleepy podcast as help

to get a better nights rest, then wake up more refresh the next day. Then consider going to patreon.com

slash Sleepy radio and donating even a dollar a month. It goes a really long way and it means a lot.

And if $5 a month you get access to a whole extra poetry feed or I send you extra

poetry readings that are now on the regular podcast. But regardless, no matter how much you donate,

I will read your name in the opening credits of the next show after you do. So again,

if you would like to be a part of making this show, then go to patreon.com slash Sleepy radio.

Thank you.

And as always, the music you're hearing is by my good friend James Lepkowski and the cover of

for Sleepy is by Gracie Canaan.

For tonight's story, I'm currently staying out of a friend's place in Cape Cod.

And there's a bunch of wonderful old books on the shelves and
