#3 - Kvasir's Blood - Extended

About this episode

If you like the sound of the creek in the background while I read or you'd like a longer audio file to put you to sleep, I've made an extended version of Episode 3. It has just the story, no introduction, with creek sounds underneath. When the story ends, the creek sounds continue to the end.
