Is anybody here just to enjoy the soothing sound of Neil Gaiman's voice? I still find it very soothing

[@steffortney4246]

Guilty.

[@colinmackinnon696]

Oh yes! It's so relaxing!

[@brianbunker5057]

I also love this story. But yes his voice is soothing af.

[@smurfmama2020]

Yup that’s what I’m here for

[@colinmackinnon696]

I read this to my coworkers during break time and I received a round of applause. Thank you Neil Gaiman for inspiring me and giving me the courage to share my love of literature with others.

[@emilyb3176]

Goosebumps hearing him start "time is fluid here..." my favourite story, the one that regularly haunts me❤

[@user-ho3fz3pt5j]

A man born to be a storyteller❤️

[@crsm42]

to me Neil is the greatest storyteller, and I usually abhor superlatives.

[@judyt.5702]

One of my favorite stories. I don't think you've written anything I don't like. Thank you for reading. 🤗👋💜

[@colinmackinnon696]

This man is a genius!

[@TheSUGA1202]

Millenia upon Millenia upon Millenia upon Millenia upon Millenia.
It all ends with a warm hug in the darkness of space.

[@ayeshayazdani8256]

Hypnotised by his soothing voice. Beautiful!

[@husainkantawala9468]

The voice is the story in it self

[@JTByrd386]

Favorite short story of his, I've read it for several friends.

[@rexa380]

I have always wondered why the man put up no resistant and simply resigned himself to his fate

[@Jvlvgjc]

Absolutely amazing. Thank you.

[@jamesforsyth7867]

I had just read this story and was looking for a link to send to a friend, This is infinitely better.
I am curious though, It appeared that Neil was teary at the end, What was that about?

[@murilloeng]

I guess it's just the emotional cost of interpreting a character in an emotional history

[@emilyb3176]

The fear that this is not just inside his head.
This story haunts me regularly

[@burntt999]

Ho Ly Shit. That voice.

[@micaylab1]

He's starting to look like a fictional God.

[@teorijaludaka]

He is Dream....

[@dentangaji6161]

Of the Endless...

[@loonynightrider6120]

He reminds me of Alan Rickman for some reason.

[@sabrinakod]

so is it that hes torturing himself, or that he's torturing the next resident of hell?

[@zacpugh6100]

Yes

[@dashapavlukova1013]

@@zacpugh6100 what yes? there is an "or" in a sentence

[@rafaelisidoro4983]

I understood that he is torturing himself. When he says "time is fluid here" shows that past, present and future are concepts that don't exist in there. Note that the new person also wears expensive clothes as the ones he was wearing before the physical torture.

[@janekingsford5025]

After a thousand years of torture, the man becomes a demon. The demon who tortured him was clearly a man before, who endured the same torture. And so it goes on.

[@orfeuestudio8227]

He is becoming a new demon so he can continue the cicle

[@levisixx7545]

He's amazing storyteller

[@alyne6474]

holy shit

[@KumonoKoe]

I love this story!

[@judyt.5702]

[@ramirosabatini]

Wow

[@chelseahill2529]

Here for the ASMR

[@killingmoon423]

I already spend every day obsessing with all the ways I hurt the world. Does that confirm I’m in hell?

[@WhoIsVerminSupreme]

I'm not sure, but I think your old animation stuff is pretty cool and also I'm pretty sure I was inside of that fire dome from your Charleston video when it was at regular burning man a few years ago.

[@killingmoon423]

@@WhoIsVerminSupremeI appreciate that, sadly I will never see myself as good.

[@WhoIsVerminSupreme]

Yeah, I know the feeling. Then again, things can change. Sometimes for the worse, but other times for the better.

[@lisak1895]

Jesus is the way.

[@nahu3lp]

there's always this type of comment lmao
