   (BONUS) A Quiet Night at the Witches' Brew B&B | Full Music Version

   In tonight’s wizarding world-inspired bedtime story accompanied by ambient music, you are the proprietor of the Witch’s Brew, a humble bed and breakfast in the magical shopping corridor of Surrey Alley. It’s a quiet night at the inn, and most of the patrons who stop in for a bite to eat are other shop-owners from the alley. You catch up with your acquaintances, check in on guests, and savor the slow pace of the off-season.

   The Ravenmaster | Folklore-Inspired Sleep Story

   In tonight’s folklore and mythology-inspired sleep story, you are the Ravenmaster, the official caretaker for the birds at the Tower of London. As you call the birds in for the night, you reflect on the history and folklore of why ravens are kept at the tower: a tale of mystery, magic, adventure, and triumph. But to take on the mantle of Ravenmaster, you must do more than listen to the stories of the mythic past – you must embody them.

   (BONUS) The Queen of the Night | Full Music Version

   In tonight’s Southern Gothic-inspired sleep story, you receive an invitation to a mysterious gathering at the home of a prominent resident of your town. Once a year, she hosts an intimate, late-night get-together to celebrate the rare and brief blooming of a beloved flower: the night-blooming cereus, also known as the Queen of the Night. You join the moonlit revel to witness the unfurling of the flower, which beckons you into nature’s great mystery.
