Medieval Sleep Story: You are a tallow chandler in a grimy lane of a medieval city. Your day begins

Описание: A calming medieval sleep story about daily life in medieval times.

Character: A tallow chandler
Theme: You are a tallow chandler in a grimy lane of a medieval city. Your day begins by hauling heavy sacks of congealed animal fat—beef suet, sheep fat—from the butchers. The air in your windowless workshop is thick, hot, and permanently rancid. Describe the visceral process: hacking the cold fat into chunks, the greasy splatter as you toss it into the vast, blackened cauldron over the fire, the nauseating smell as it melts and bubbles into a yellowish liquid. Focus on the grinding monotony of skimming impurities with a long-handled ladle, the slow, repetitive dipping of bundled wicks into the cooling vat to build up layers of tallow. Feel the perpetual, slick grease coating your hands, your tools, the dirt floor. The end product isn't elegant—it's a stack of lumpy, foul-smelling candles that gutter, smoke, and drip, but are the only source of light for most of the city after dark. This isn't craftsmanship; it's a revolting, essential alchemy performed in stench and gloom.
Duration: 60 minutes
