Why am I going through the mylifeiscreepy blog.

It’s like I don’t want to go to sleep anymore.

But one day the fan saw two more loose threads. How had she not noticed them before? There they were, just waiting to be pulled out and tied to something. So she tugged on those two threads at the same time. And it made her whole brain unravel. The end.
