Under the Knife a 1898 Tale — Ahead of it’s time episode artwork

Under the Knife by H.G. Wells – A Tale Ahead of Its Time

Play episode

A man is heavily weighed upon by dark thoughts, fears in fact that going under the knife, taking on a surgery to his side to remove something from him that warrants removal. This man’s thoughts though are plagued with depression, suicidal thoughts even, and thoughts of darkness. What we experience in today’s tale are his thoughts, how he progress through those dark thoughts, and what begins to change him. Going under the knife…cutting away darkness…and so much more.

Mates join me in today’s tale for a more intense, and specifically, more than usual, metaphysical story style. This episode may or may not be for you, but nonetheless, something worth exploring and giving a shot. I don’t do these kinds of stories often, but today’s episode is one such tale, because I love variety. Listen closely, pay attention, and follow along, to the tale of, Under the Knife, written in 1898. Enjoy.
