Hey, welcome to scary stories and rain. So yesterday I announced the winner of my Switch 2

bundle giveaway, Carolyn Lejoy, and I emailed her and she has not responded yet. So Carolyn,

if you're listening, please check your email. I'm going to go ahead and send another one right now.

I'm going to give you 18 hours to respond, but if you don't respond, unfortunately, I'm going to have

to choose another winner. The PlayStation 5 giveaway started yesterday, so if you want to be entered to win a

brand new PlayStation 5, go ahead and subscribe to my podcast for just $2.99 a month. You'll be

entered to win all giveaways, and you'll get rid of all of the ads permanently. I really do

hope that you're enjoying this podcast,

and as always, thank you so much for being here,

and I hope you enjoy.

She was referred to me by a colleague.

I read through her case file as I always do with new patients.

This one was another object in the brain. The usual course would be me moving the object,

follow-ups with the patient as they recover, yearly scans, and so forth. It was probably another brain tumor. I am a surgeon, and I don't have a set specialty unless removing objects and tumors from every corner of the body is a specialty.

A tumor in the brain that no brain surgeon dares touch, come see me, I'll gladly attempt removal. Oftentimes, I can

completely remove the tumor. As I said, I deal with strange cases. My office door opens as

a raven-haired woman in her early twenties entered. Her blue eyes dart around, fearfully, resting on George,

floating serenely inside his jar. I stand and hold out my hand. Don't mind George. He can be

rather nerve-wracking when you don't expect him, I said. I'm Dr. Strand. Please sit.

We sit.

The woman is still eyeing George warily.

I reached over and turned the jar.
