Hello listeners, just a quick note. This is a full episode preview of a story exclusive to

Little Stories for Sleep, a brand new podcast feed available to my Little Stories premium subscribers.

This particular story is part of a series I'll be releasing on Little Stories for Sleep,

called the Gentle Sleep Train series. In each of these stories, you, the listener, will board a

sleep vehicle and seek calming performances that will allow your mind to go quiet. There will be no

glitches in the process and no incidents to sort out just a soothing ride with the sleep crew. Enjoy!

It has been a long day and your huffs are sore. You make your way to the bathroom and brush your teeth,

making sure to polish each one. As you brush, your mind wanders to what enchantments may be in store for you

on your beloved sleep train. Just thinking about it makes your shoulders relax. After brushing your teeth,

you fluff your wool a few times, then quomp over to your bed. The window is a jar and a light breeze

drifts into the room, carrying with it the scent of hoof lotion. It's time.

Sometimes when you go looking for your favorite pajamas, you discover that they are in the laundry.

Not tonight. When you open your drawer, they are right there, ready for you.

You think of all that's to come. The anticipation is part of what makes it special. After all,

you put on your pajamas, climb into bed, and peel back your pillow. Your heart soars when your

eyes settle on your button. The button that transports you to a magical train ride that never fails

to quiet your mind and to carry you to sleep. You stretch out your hoof and press the button.

A great swirling cloud streams upward. You float to the ground like a leaf sailing on the wind.

Your hoofs barely make a sound as they come to a rest. Up ahead in the underground tunnel,

you see the sleep train. The towering moose stands at the boarding area, ushering sleepy passengers

up the steps. My goodness, Selena, the severity of your sleep seriousness is positively written

all over your fur. Welcome aboard my dear. Please do watch your step. There you are.
