Summary
This dark tale, written just for The Wicked Library, takes us deep into hidden realms and the reality that lies just unseen below the one we normally see. It's a tale of a woman searching to find out who she is, who her ancestors were, and what her place is in the world. Along her travels, she comes to a special island where the truths she's searching for may be more than she's prepared to see.

| 0:12.2 | You're listening to the Wicked Library. |
| 0:31.8 | Fear. |
| 0:34.7 | We know all about that here, don't we? |
| 0:36.2 | It's why we're here. |
| 0:45.3 | We want to enjoy some nice, controllable, and safe fear that we can play with for a set period of time and then leave it safely behind. |
| 0:49.4 | We all share fear of death and the unknown. |
| 0:54.1 | As Bikowski said, that shared experience should bring us together. |
| 0:57.5 | Because death is coming for all of us. |
| 1:01.0 | Me, you, all of us. |
| 1:08.2 | The world has an ultimate plan for us, and it's our own demise. |
| 1:15.7 | The world really doesn't need any help with that. Maybe it comes in the form of an invisible virus that crawls inside of you and literally chokes you to death while you |
| 1:21.7 | lay there in terror, unable to escape. Or maybe it comes in the form of someone in power, someone you should be able to trust. |
| 1:30.3 | Someone who's supposed to protect you from situations that will shorten your time on this planet |
| 1:35.7 | and who instead crawls on top of you and literally chokes you to death. |
| 1:44.5 | It's a tragedy when it's the former, and it's a crime when it's the latter. |
| 1:51.4 | We need to be better than this. |
| 1:54.0 | The world doesn't need anyone's help to deliver death. |
| 1:58.2 | We need each other's help. |
| 2:00.3 | We need to look out for one another and try to |
| 2:02.5 | keep the world from cutting short the little time that we have here. We have an amazing community |
| 2:09.9 | here. Amazing authors, voice actors, artists, composers, and of course, you, dear listener, |
