I found this video only a couple of hours ago and I have already listened to the story three times! I never realised how much I am missing out on due to my obnoxiously unyielding realistic view of the world - now I feel completely enthralled by magic. All thanks to one little story read by a voice actor just as talented as the writer. Seriously, this is insanely captivating. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I will definitely be going through all the other stories on your channel!

...."it's amazing what people bring in with them".👹 I enjoyed this so much. Wells slyly pulls the reader in to share this discomforting, cleverly crafted tale with his occasional appeals: "well, you know, what would you do?" How simply he writes it, almost like a children's story, yet it's impossible to ignore the uneasiness building behind it. The ending is perfect - perfectly wrapped up, yet not. Fabulous narration!
