Hey, my name's Otis Gray, and you're listening to Sleepy.

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

and this is a midweek bedtime story for you.

Okay. then this is a midweek bedtime story for you. Tonight I have a love story.

A love story that begins and ends in 30 minutes.

It's quite wonderful.

And before I get to the bedtime reading,

I just want to generally thank all of our patrons on patreon.com, which is a site where you can pledge a couple bucks for an ad-free version of

Sleepy. If you're a patron, thank you so, so much. Without your support, honestly, this show

could not happen and could not have

continued for over 440 episodes at this point, which is crazy to even say. So thank you so

much for your support. It really, really means a lot. And if you don't know about the Sleepy Patreon,

it's just a place where you can go and directly support people who make the stuff that you like.

And in this case, you just directly support Sleepy for small amounts,

$1, $2 a month in exchange for perks.

$2 get to an ad-free version

of the show.

$5 you get access to our

poetry feed.

But even $1.

It means so much to me

and no matter how much you donate.
