00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: M thirteen days of Halloween is a production of I

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: heart radio, Blumhouse television and grim and mild from Aaron

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: manky headphones recommended. Listener discretion advised. Hello, friend, forgive me.

4
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: Startling you gives me such pleasure. I'm so sorry. You

5
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: must have followed the smells. Welcome to Hawthorne Manners Kitchen.

6
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: The architect designed it after his own childhood kitchen. The

7
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: cast iron cauldron was said to belong to one Martha

8
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: carrier who was tried and executed for witchcraft some years ago,

9
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: though I suspect she only used it for cooking. Well,

10
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 1: do not mind the strange, sickly green of the fire.

11
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: The wood here burns strangely. Don't breathe too long, a bit,

12
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: trust me, the sleep it brings off as little in

13
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: the way of rest. Please sit. Mm Hmm, that smell.

14
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Can you describe it? That's right, you're a quiet one.

15
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: Allow me a venison stew, onions and garlic browned at

16
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: the bottom in rendered bacon fat and then layered with

17
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: fresh killed game. Added to that green albums for bite

18
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: and yams for sweetness and heft, dried sage and time

19
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: from the garden. Ah, my mother's recipe. When she died,

20
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: there was still a little of it left in the cauldron.

21
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: I ate it slowly over the coming days, a spoonful

22
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: at a time, a taste slowly slip in a way,

23
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: until it was gone, lost to memory, until the first

24
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: day I walked into this kitchen and smelled it. I wept.

25
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: It's a trick. What you are smelling is not what

26
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: I am smelling, is it? It's something that you loved,

27
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: isn't it? Don't tell me. It doesn't matter, because what

28
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: is in the Quldron is most assuredly not that. I

29
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: think it's the fire that gives off the smells. That's

30
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: why I don't trust it, nor the one who wields it.

31
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: In all of my years here, I've never met our chef.

32
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: Whenever I enter the room I'm always keenly aware that

33
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: someone else is just vacated suddenly. I try to assume

34
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: that whoever it is has good intentions, because there is

35
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: always ample food and the poisonings have stopped. Now, my friend,

36
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: I have a task for you, if you're willing. You're

37
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: so bliant, such a pleasant change of pace. Follow me.

38
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to introduce you to another of our guests,

39
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: who regularly requires assistance. I'm sure you'll get a full

40
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: explanation here. Give her these. You'll understand. Della, my dear,

41
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: this is my good friend. He's excited to meet you

42
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: and he comes bearing gifts. I'll return shortly. Oh, I'm sorry,

43
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: I have a seat. Make yourself comfortable if you can.

44
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: I must look pretty crazy. Huh, skinny old lane living

45
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: up here in an empty room, no chairs for company,

46
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: like hanging everywhere and not a drop of shade. You

47
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: don't even have a blanket on the bed. Did you

48
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: notice that blanket makes dark, so blanket had to go.

49
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: You can't understand, I know, but if they had their

50
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: sights on you. You've ever seen those greasy stains that

51
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: show about of nowhere, sometimes on the wall or ceiling,

52
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: sometimes they're soaked into the carpet or your mattress. I

53
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: used to think that they were just sweat stains, but

54
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: now I know better. They're what gets left behind when

55
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: they sink back through into the dark, the residue of

56
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: whatever or whoever they took with them. I think it's

57
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: the pressure, the physical pressure of being squeezed right through

58
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: into another dimension does the same thing to a human

59
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: body that a juicer does to an orange. Just rings

60
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: the Grease and oil right out of your skin. Moush,

61
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: you're gone. That oily stain is all that's left. Or

62
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: that's my theory on it at least. M Hmmm. I

63
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: thought I had more time, but they just started popping.

64
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: And that one light over there in the corner, you

65
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: see it, that one shattered first, just the main fluorescent

66
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: in the kitchen net one a few minutes after that,

67
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: and I figured I was looking at trouble. I've been

68
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: keeping them at bay for so long now, but if

69
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: they figured out how to blow the bulbs, well, I'm

70
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: lucky you arrived, really I am. I'm grateful there's still

71
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: light in here for now, but if I leave to

72
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: get more bulbs on my own, just too risky for me.

73
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: Too many shadows, too many places where they can grab on.

74
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: But they haven't attached themselves to you yet, right, they haven't,

75
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: have they? No, but having you in here for too

76
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: long really isn't a good idea. The longer you're in here,

77
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: the more likely they are to notice you and then,

78
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: but anyway, they haven't seen you yet. You can still

79
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: go out and do whatever you want in the night

80
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: and the dark, without them sinking the bony little spurs

81
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: into you. Why are you here again? Right, the light.

82
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: You've brought me more light. That's right, you're an angel.

83
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: M Hmm. You don't know how grateful I am. Really.

84
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: Do you happen to know how fresh these are? I

85
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: could swear the caretaker has been purposefully fetching me bulbs

86
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: that go out immediately, it was. Some of them even

87
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: burn out before you've been done screwing them in. I

88
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: wonder about him some Nimes. Have you ever noticed anything

89
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: about this? Oh Jesus, we're sorry, I'm doing that thing again.

90
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't see people very often, you know, and I'm

91
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: not really used to conversation. I could be nerve is,

92
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: but I think that it feels this way all the time.

93
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm nervous. Probably would help if

94
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: I slept better, but all hard to sleep with all

95
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: the lights, you know. I mean, look at this place,

96
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: like a football stadium in here, right. How many lights

97
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: do you think I have? There's forty two of them,

98
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: varying watts. Well, there's thirty seven, now thirty four. No matter,

99
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: as long as the big floodlights stay on. I should

100
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: be okay for a while. I bet you've seen their

101
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: leftovers before and didn't even know what you were looking at.

102
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: Probably just wrote it right off right. And sometimes they

103
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: leave more than just the stains behind too. When they

104
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: took my husband, Joseph, back in our old house, they

105
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: took him right through the mattress. I remember we were

106
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: going through a heat wave and I was sleeping on

107
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: top of the covers, but Joseph never could. I woke

108
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night because I felt

109
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: the bed shift, like a weight had suddenly lifted right

110
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: off the box spring. And Joseph it was just gone.

111
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: Skin slick discoloring his side of the bed and all

112
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: the men made parts of him just laying there in

113
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: the indentation his body. Left behind one full set of

114
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: false teeth and three metal pins, like they were too

115
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: corporeal for wherever he was going. I thought after that

116
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: they'd be done, but that's not how they work. When

117
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: they see you, when they really he could notice of you,

118
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: they come for you too, in the dark. They saw

119
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: me when they came after my husband, and they've been

120
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: coming ever since. Joseph said he picked it up at

121
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: work like a flu or something, a virus. I didn't

122
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: know what he meant, but right away he started acting different,

123
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: funny little anxieties that turned a corner out of nowhere

124
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: and transformed into full forn paranoia. Do you want to

125
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: know the first thing he did? He bought a night light,

126
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: a little kid's night light shape like some sort of

127
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: cartoon character. I didn't even know who was supposed to

128
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: be and we never had kids and I wasn't on

129
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: to date on it doesn't matter. The point is he

130
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: started sleeping with that thing on, lighting up our bedroom,

131
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: and didn't bother me at first, but after about a

132
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: week I woke up in the middle of the night

133
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: to go pee and I found him there, curls up

134
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: on the floor, nestles up against the wall and the

135
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: glow of at night light. And it just got worse

136
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: from there. He insisted on sleeping with all the overhead

137
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: lights on too, kept the closet doors open all the time.

138
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: I taped the windows up to get the night time out.

139
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: I thought he was crazy, I really did. The problem

140
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: was he wasn't crazy enough. He didn't think things through.

141
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: He kept all the lights on, sure, but like make

142
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: shadow and they can travel even in that it doesn't

143
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: matter what kind of dark it is. If it's dark,

144
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: they'll come. That's how they get you, and they were

145
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: you down, wait for you to slip up and leave

146
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: some blackness for them to hiden behind closed doors, under

147
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: blankets in your shoes. When they first came from me,

148
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was hearing. Scraping like fingernails

149
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: on a window pane. It was quiet at first, so

150
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: quiet and slow that I wasn't even sure I was

151
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: really hearing it, and then it got louder. There I

152
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: guess you'd call them fingertips. They're sharp and hollow, like

153
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: birds bones. They Sound Brittle, like the snap right off

154
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: of the scratch too hard, but I never do snap

155
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: right off. And once you filled them, they're cold grasp.

156
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: It's like clammy flesh pulled tight over glass shards, like

157
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: somebody spilled orange juice on a stretched leather hide and

158
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: didn't bother to clean it up before it dried sticky

159
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: to the surface. But it's colder than that and meaner.

160
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: Those glass, burnt bone fingers are vices, strange and the

161
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: teeth smarted and colow and cold all at the same time.

162
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: You see that you see this mark. It happened about

163
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: a week after they took Joseph. Talk until Joseph was

164
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: gone before I believed any of what he had been

165
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: spouting off about. But after I did everything he did.

166
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: Kept the light on, keptain windows taped over. But still

167
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: I was too careless. I hadn't yet learned from my

168
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: husband's and steaks. I had a raised bed, more comfortable clothes.

169
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: I used to like wearing hats. I thought they suited me.

170
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: I looked pretty in them. Just the thought now a hat,

171
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: that much dark space between the fabric and my head,

172
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: my head of all things. I can't believe I was

173
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: ever that reckless. I think they probably came in through

174
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: the silver withdrawer, slipped down under the kitchen sink, crept

175
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: through cast shadows until they dragged their sharp damn bodies

176
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: into my bedroom, scraping against the surfaces. They couldn't be

177
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: seen in the lights were on. I thought it was safe,

178
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: but I hid underneath my blinket. At the time. Should

179
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: have learned my lesson from Joseph, but I surely didn't,

180
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: and one of them met me there. I couldn't quite

181
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: see it. It was too dark under the things in

182
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: the comforter and the tears were cloud in a fishing

183
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: but I can tell you that there was something reminiscently

184
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: human about it. Quite maybe it was more what would

185
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: you call it in the Mammalian crinkled paper flesh and

186
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: clumps of coarse hair, the hazy memory of a creature

187
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: from a campfire story, you were told. As the child,

188
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: dead and alive at the same time and desperate hungry,

189
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: somehow scraped up the foresight to kick the blanket off

190
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: and the thing in the dark went with the blanket.

191
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: But it left me this scar, a reminder for both

192
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: of us, for me a reminder of what's always there,

193
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: hiding for the thing in the dark, the scar is

194
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: a reminder of my taste. So it can follow me.

195
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: I had to leave our home, where my husband and

196
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: I lived together for three decades, to get away from

197
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: all the nooks and crannies that come with a house

198
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: like ours. You can't keep it all lit up all

199
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: the time. It's not possible. But here it's just one room, manageable.

200
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: But I'm tired now, all the time. I'm just so,

201
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: so tired. Down to have you've been keeping count. It's

202
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: fifteen lights in the past half hour. At this rate,

203
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: they're popping faster than I can screw them in. All right,

204
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: go on, get out of here, scoot gotta get these

205
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: bulbs changed while I still can. And I've kept you

206
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: here too long already. They've noticed you by now. Ain't

207
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: a way around that. I'm sorry about that. Well, that

208
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: was one of the big security floods, only afterw I

209
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: guess I'm probably no better than a set of false

210
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: teeth in a grease streak at this point, but still,

211
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: I made it this far. There's still a chance with

212
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: what you've brought me here. But wait, before you go,

213
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: I need you to listen to me for one more minute. Okay,

214
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: you're listening good, and this is important. You need to

215
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: go out, go right now, and buy all the lights

216
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: you can. Set them up in your room, hang them

217
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: from the ceilings, prop them up on the floor, put

218
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: them all over, then strip everything down and keep out

219
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: the dark. Being particulous about it more than you think

220
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: you have to be, because it will be worse that

221
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: you think it is. You hear me, they're clever, nasty,

222
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: deathlike things, every one of them, and they are coming

223
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: for you and they're going to find a way to

224
00:15:51,200 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: kick you. Yeah, in the dark, am h h AH,

225
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: done so soon? Yes, well, don't worry about running out

226
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: to the store, and I'm afraid you wouldn't find one.

227
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: We will replenish Dalla's supply from our own stocks, which

228
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: are plentiful. My friend, you look positively piqued. Don't worry,

229
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: we'll make sure your room is also well lit, should

230
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: you find it necessary. Dela is right about one thing.

231
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: You do well to mind the shadows and Hawthorn manner.

232
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: Most are friendly, but a handful of them undecidedly. Not

233
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: a question, though. Did you discuss it all the door

234
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: we spoke of yesterday? Did it come up in the

235
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: course of conversation? Worry not, we still have plenty of time.

236
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: My friend, I am afraid that I must take my

237
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: leave of you. I can't take this job is never

238
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: complete in a place so complicated. Meet me tomorrow in

239
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: the garden. Yes, rest well tonight and do yourself a favor.

240
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: Sleep with a light on. I have so much to

241
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: show you. Thirteen days of Halloween was created by Matt

Speaker 1: Jessica Losa. Only eleven days remain. Tomorrow another story. I

248
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: watched a single drop of Red Appear in its center.

249
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: I stared at it, the Bright Crimson Dot in the

250
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: Sea of pure white batter. It was blood, my blood.

251
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: I didn't have another mix, I had no fun facts,

252
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: I had nothing else to offer. I only had cupcakes.

253
