    🎊🎈For some reason. The red atmospheric light behind and around the hand, worked. If you ask me. I am stalling. Do I scroll below the rings, or do I not? I must... I must... But the title though. I still can't tell what is going to happen. Coming straight from the embedded link... The first line... I can imagine... Oh I can almost hear it if that is even possible. Damn. It's like you stopped existing. This was under your skin creepy. This was fantastic. Congratulations on your challenge win 🤗 ❤️ 🖤 👏🏾 👌🏾🎈🎊

    This is vile, in a good way. Definitely a successful horror in just three lines.
