Hello Readers.
Before we begin we must first ensure that you are truly reading this. For this could simply just be a spirit of some sort speaking these words into your mind as your eyes stare emotionless at the screen, giving you the feeling of reading when you are, in fact, not reading.

So, now that we have cleared that issue up, I will continue on to our more stressing matter. You. Well not you exactly, more specifically the position you are currently in. To assure that you fully comprehend the importance of this situation, we will review some of your previous actions.

I must ask that you first recall the way in which you came to your current location. Now, do you remember the dark, somewhat opaque, vaguely human-shaped figures that were following you? If not, then good. It means they are doing their job properly. As you were walking you may have been thinking about something. But, before you try to remember what that something was, you must stop. You were not thinking of anything. There were no thoughts passing through the recesses of your mind. Any ideas that you think you may have had are false, merely fabrications created by a certain spirit to give you the phantasm of normality. You should be grateful to them. They maintain sanity.

As you were approaching your location, you most likely felt an emotion. My sources have not given me a clear answer as to what that emotion was, but I am trusting that you know. Whatever that emotion may be, it was pleasing to specter that happens to be present with you this moment. It would be wise to replicate that emotion now.

You at the moment be feeling a strange sensation. Or not. Do not dwell on it too much. If you are, it would be in your best interest to ignore it. It will pass. It probably already has.

Forgive me, dear reader, if this seems tedious, but it is important that you received this information before we move on to your position. I would hate for you to acquire an ill fate. Now, to the matter at hand. Stop for a moment and look at yourself. Do not move. There is something wrong with your current position. It is disturbing the peace. Now, I advise that you slowly change it into a more pleasing stance. There.

That went well. Thank you for your cooperation. I hope that this has not caused you any distress. That is the least of my wishes. Before we part, I'd like to say a few words. One moment... sorry... I have been told to inform you that you need not worry about the presence that is passing by you. It is almost always harmless.

Where was I? Oh yes, some closing sentiments. I do not doubt that you will, over time, forget our encounter. But every once in awhile, I will send someone out to push the memory of this back into your mind.
Perhaps we may cross paths again, but until then.
Just know that we're always watching out for you.
Always watching.
Breathe.
Be at peace.

Goodbye Reader.
