Don't read this

You must trust me, I have a piece of information, and you must follow it without asking any questions: you have to stop reading this and go straight to the last paragraph.

Do this without reading any other paragraphs and do it now. Please... trust me. What happens next is your fault alone. You failed the test, and now you’re in danger. I didn’t write this.

They forced me to write this. These are my fingers on the keyboard, that’s all, and your eyes are on these words. Whatever happens, do not take your eyes off these words. Continue reading until I tell you otherwise. And when I tell you otherwise, do exactly as I say. Because if you don’t read this exactly as I told you, you will die.

Listen carefully. First, you must skip the next paragraph. Whatever you do, never read the paragraph after this one. You must completely ignore it and move your eyes straight to the paragraph after it. Promise me, for the sake of those you love. This is your only chance to free yourselves from not trusting me earlier. Skip the next paragraph and do it now.

The Forbidden Paragraph: You should have done this, right? They knew you would do it. Nothing you do now will change anything. If there are people you love, call them, tell them everything people tell their loved ones when they know they’re about to die. Explain everything to them.

Make your final arrangements. From this moment on, you will stay alive only as long as you can stay awake. The last time you sleep will be your last. They are watching you. They are listening to your thoughts. They are waiting for you. They are waiting for you to make a mistake.

And when you do, they will come to you. To stay alive, you must take blood from someone you love. Just a drop, that’s all, and place it on your tongue. This is what they want. This is what they need. They are inside you now, and they are waiting. If you fail to bring the blood while you’re awake, you will never wake up again.

Follow this advice, and never, ever go back and read the forbidden paragraph. Trust me.

If you followed my advice in the first paragraph, good job. You can stop reading now. But in life, never, ever be tempted to go back and read the paragraphs you skipped. You must trust me. And please, wish me luck. I’m tired. So tired, you can’t imagine...
