Over The Garden Wall By Patrick McHale.

UPA's The Tell-Tale Heart (1954) by Ted Parmelee, designed by Paul Julian, narrated by James Mason.

My favorite adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's short story.

I'd give this short an A+++.

Fun Fact:

It turns out Genghis Khan, former Khagan of the Mongol Empire, may have done some good for the planet...

He did more to combat global warming than any of us ever will. Between 1162 and 1227, Genghis Khan and his Mongolian armies conquered around 22% of the Earth's surface, killing as many as 40 million people. But he also cut 700 million tons of carbon emissions while doing so. By lowering the population of the world by as much as 10%, he allowed huge portions of cultivated farmland to return to their natural forested state and absorb carbon from the atmosphere.

Turns out there's a Greek myth for everything...

Where did soulmates come from? Why is love a thing?

According to Greek playwright Aristophanes, there were originally three kinds of human beings: the Children of the Moon were male and female in one body. The Sun's Children were two males in one body and the Earth's were two females in one body. With two united minds and eight strong limbs each, they planned to overthrow the gods and live on Mt. Olympus themselves. But Zeus, wanting to end this rebellion before it started, sliced every couple into two, had Apollo smoothen them out and gave them belly buttons as an eternal reminder of their failure and made it possible for them to reproduce as we do now. Having been whole all their lives, they refused to do anything apart and started dying because of it. So Zeus reshaped their bodies again, making becoming physically one temporarily possible.

Now it's the inborn fate of every person to seek wholeness in another. Those who were once a man and woman desire the other gender and those who descended from a combo of the same gender seek to unite with the same gender.

They are soulmates, and this pursuit is love.

"Cigarettes and chocolate milk These are just a couple of my cravings Everything it seems I like’s a little bit stronger A little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me." —Rufus Wainwright, "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk"
