Ceiling fan

Not everything in life is what it seems

If I told you my ceiling fan was alive.

Would you look at me with the same worried face expression you have right now reading this , or would you just shrug your shoulders and say 'oh well.'

Would you want to question the motives behind my perspective, or would you just assume the assumable and checkmark me to being one of the many lost souls in this strange world?

Whatever decision you decide whether you have one or not. I suspect is a reasonable one considering what I have to say next is the decision breaker for it all.

I have no ceiling fan at all.

I only imagined it hanging low from me, reaching towards me as if it can be one of the mythical creature monsters I used to read in story books when I was a little kid.
