| 0:00.0 | Water. It gives us life. We are drawn to it. |
| 0:13.0 | Yet it holds immense power over us. It can bring unspeakable horror to the most familiar places. |
| 0:26.6 | Your morning shower, a tranquil riverbank, or the endless ocean. |
| 0:33.6 | It's time to dive deep into the abyss. |
| 0:40.3 | From the dark waters of the Cape Fear River, immerse yourself in horror as you. |

| 1:00.1 | The No Sleep Podcast. Welcome to the No Sleep Podcast. I'm your host, David Cummings. |
| 1:36.4 | Have you ever considered the word consume? It recently dawned on me that it's a word not |
