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 short story for you.

and really beautifully written

slightly emotional

really great to go to sleep too

so I hope you like it

if you do always feel free to comment and tell me.

And before we get to our bedtime reading,

I just want to profoundly thank all of our patrons on patreon.com.
