Hello sleepless and welcome to the latest installment of sleepless decomposition. I'm your host David Cummings.

Can you believe we're already on the 9th of these episodes since 2020? For those who may be new to us

after discovering the podcast's URL scrolled on the wall of a cursed crypt, allow me to explain

what a sleepless decomposition is. It's a non-season episode created or curated in-house,

with the purpose of seeping outside the crumbling coffin that serves as the box. That is to say,

these episodes are our little gift to you on some weeks that would otherwise be a holiday break

from the show. Sometimes they're a little different to what you come to find in regular episodes.

This could be the length of a story or the subgenre. Maybe they push boundaries, maybe they break them.

Sometimes they will be particularly shocking. Sometimes they'll be puzzling. And sometimes,

as is the case with this episode, there are just two really good horror stories that we decided to

do for sleepless decomposition's volume 9 because we feel like it. So hopefully now you understand

the scope of sleepless decomposition. A series of episodes we've been doing since the new decayed.

The new decade started. And speaking of decomposition, we're getting older. Yes, we're turning 11 on June 13th.

11 sleepless years. Quite a number. Speaking of numbers, let's talk number 18.

Yes, season 18 begins on June 26th, but the season passes on sale right now. And when you sign up,

you'll have access to a special bonus episode. Why not help us raise the numbers of season 18

pass holders by buying one. The link is in the show notes. There's something very special about

season 18. We promise it'll be spooky, scary fun, but we can't promise it won't give you bad dreams.

And speaking of bad dreams, it's time for our first tale.

Shared with us by author Ann Marie Lutz and performed by Jessica McAvoy and

Atticus Jackson, it's the tale of a woman who wakes into a nightmare.
