Slow, calm sleep stories for grown-ups who wake in the night and want to fall back asleep. Human-voiced.

This Sleep Story is called Between the Bells. It's a love story, a slow one, between two people who have been keeping each other company for a very long time without saying so. It takes place at a small, fictional railway junction in Southern India, on a warm, dry night in March, in the early 1960s.

The story is told three times, each telling slower and softer than the last.

No ads in the middle of a story, ever.
