It's the year 3024 and you recently came back to your home planet of earth on a business trip. As a young leader paving the way for those living on Mars you've got quite the busy schedule. It's a late and rainy night when you hear a knock at the door. It's none other than your dutiful maid with tea to soothe you after a long day. What's more is that she even offers to read you a story before bed~

Happy Friday everyone, I hope this audio starts you off to a cozy weekend :) I've always wanted to do a reading for you all, so I really enjoyed myself with this one. I tried really hard to set the mood but as someone who has a slight stuttering problem some of these old words and way of talking...need I say more? xD Reading it in your head and out loud are very much different experiences for me lol. Either way I hope you find it relaxing ^_^

While I know it's obvious, I want to just put in the description that this is a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. I was very happy to find out it was in the public domain so I could read it without worry!

I was hoping for The Raven when I voted for Poe! It has such a cool rhyme scheme and it's nice to hear it in your voice.

Me: Professor, I'm obviously studying about Edgar Allan Poe, observe. Alichu: (Insert whatever you wanna say ) :) I swear if you uploaded this on YouTube and get copyright claimed for this(even if it's in public domain), that would just dumb. Glad Patreon isn't strick about content like this. Also fun fact(unless it's obvious :P) the Netflix series of Wednesday is kinda based off of The Raven by a lot, mainly from just Nevermore and all. That red eye and hair covering one eye is just a lovely touch to this audio about Poe. I guess you can say that you've found your "cup of tea" Alichu (lol).

This made for a nice story time. Nice job on this asmr.

Was a nice listen for riding around on a black Chocobo in FF7 lol. That's about the end of the similarities between a Raven and Chocobo but was still a funny coincidence since there is a bunch of different Chocobo colors.

When I saw 3024 I immediately thought of Battletech, because most people use the start date of 3025 for their games. So I'd like to imagine that our maid is reading us a poem while we're traveling to go fight in our giant death mechs. I never thought to say this but Battletech has a bunch of books and I even have one called Bred for war, so I might actually finish it lol, for those that read maybe if you like grounded scifi you might like it, but there are also many audio versions of their books on youtube. I've definitely heard this poem before, idk where or when but I've heard it. I'd be interested what other works of his you'd recommend.

This reminds me of the Simpson’s. There was a scene when Lisa was reading the Allen Poe poem to Bart in the treehouse and Homer got scared lol. My mind just thought of that scene for some reason. This was really good and soothing. Felt like I was in literature class all over again.

*sheds a tear* That was beautiful, Ali. Haha, very well done. I actually don't know many poems (which is euphemism for; I don't know any :P) but this was kinda cool! Nice work on this, reading something like that aloud mustn't be easy. But my goodness, what have you made here for the character art? You made her stupidly attractive. She does not bare the appearance of a "maid", but rather the fictional girlfriend of a loner's space comic. lmao Great job!

Ok I've tried twice to listen to this and both times I've fallen asleep halfway through. Something about being read to just puts me out cold. I'd love to know how the poem ends but I suppose I will never know

Very nice audio today Ali, I do like listening to others read poetry instead of reading it myself, but I blame that on my English Lit GCSEs lol, I did not want to do the poem set we got, because the other set was totally up my alley. (Keen eyed Brit amongst us may be able to know what I'm on about) I'll admit I'm no poem buff, but the other set I knew most of the poems for already!

You say you have a slight stuttering problem but you wouldn’t know it from this reading, you killed it! Honestly that line, “leave my loneliness unbroken” is probably the most cutting. Especially cause you have the image of Poe shrieking it desperately. Honestly that whole second to last stanza is my favorite part, it really sells the desperation and despair he’s feeling. I’d still say my favorite Poe writing is “The Tell-Tale Heart” though, but I haven’t read it in years

I don't know if you read comments on old posts but I want to say this was lovely. Exactly what I hoped it would be when I heard you reading the poems in your silent hill streams!
