Welcome to another edition of Time Suck Short Sucks. I'm Dan Cummins and today I will be sharing the strange and spooky story of Olivia Mabel.

The story presented as a true story and the story centered around the unsettling concept of a topa a thought form a supposed

sentient being not born but created and not created by a god or by science or by any

normal reproductive means but instead something that can be literally

imagined into existence but is that possible or is it just some nonsensical supernatural concept conjured up by nothing more than wishful magical thinking?

But even if it's not real does it at the very least speak to a larger truth.

Sometimes the characters we imagine or the characters others

imagine who we then become fans of can end up taking just as much if not more

reality real estate up in our lives than our flesh and blood friends or families do.

And doesn't that make these characters, these Tulpas in some sense, alive?

Words and ideas can change the world.

I hated her, but I wanted to love my mother.

I have a dream.

I'll plead not guilty right now.

Your only chance is to leave with us.

Hello everybody. As this episode releases on October 25th, the last short suck before Halloween,

Halloween. And what a strange holiday Halloween is. A holiday based most scholars

seem to believe on the night before the primary day of celebrating Sowin, an over 2,000-year-old

Celtic festival primarily celebrated on the 1st of November, marking the end of the harvest season,

and the beginning of winter or the darker half of the year.
