Season 4 Bonus Episode: A Walk to The Midnight Library

Your journey to reach The Midnight Library is narrated in ASMR fashion by your humble host: Miranda Merrick. Who will you meet on your walk?

“You’ve gotten in your car and driven to the edge of the village. The main road has narrowed. Forests, pastureland, and old farms dot the dimming distance. Whatever life has had to offer you, whatever reality has forced you to of late- You’re looking for something different; a mood, a setting,... the warmth and chill ...of beings of a different nature. You turn onto a nameless, lonely old road, marked only by a small, wooden sign that illuminates when your headlights catch it. Its deeply carved script reads: THIS WAY TO THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY”

Pre-Death-stination

Tonight’s reading is on the fascinating subject of the art of prediction and predestination. There are simply countless examples of such happenings down through time, the world over! Nearly every holy book and ancient writing contain some, mostly generalized, statements- that predict the future state of humanity in some aspect or another; usually in a catastrophic way. There are hardly any predictions of peaceable Edens, I’m afraid.
