In this episode, I read something appropriate for Christmas: Poe's "The Raven." Then I follow up with a reading of the essay he wrote explaining the whole process. Spoiler: he thinks death is beautiful.
Turns out that a king who is good at war sometimes wins wars. Sometimes that means kids beg for their lives. Sometimes that mean someone gets bludgeoned. BUT WE JUST HAVE TO LET THE KING LIVE HIS LIFE OKAY
