Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Marquia, and this is the Something Scary podcast. To our veteran

listeners and those sheltering into the dark with us for the first time, welcome. This week, we've been

thinking about love. Love lifts us up. Love is a many splendid thing. All you need is love.

Did you know that it is a statistical fact that you're more likely to be killed by the ones that say they love you than any stranger?

In investigations of foul play, that's why they always look at the family first.

Just something for all of us to keep in mind as we shelter

in place with the ones that we love. Because love can drive one to insanity. Journeys can take

unexpected twists on cobblestone streets in the dark. And you don't know what truly lies

beyond paths that can test even the closest

to friends. These are places life can take you that are gravely Gothic. First, a lost love

returns determined on forever. Next, the dead of the night holds a girl tight.

After that, a wife seeks more than till death do us part.

And finally, a motley crew encounters a mad entity.

I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions every single week.

As always, the first story you hear is one that we've chosen to animate

and post over at YouTube.com slash snarled.

Then I read a few more stories for the podcast.

If you have a tale, you're dying to share.

Send me an email at something scary at snarl.com.
