Transcript:
nothing is out of the ordinary here
the shadows are nothing to worry about
cars are parked right where they should be, in rows
the shadows are nothing to worry about
none of the streetlights are flickering out
the shadows are nothing to worry about
my steps are echoing completely normally
the shadows are nothing to worry about
the strange luminosity's a trick of the light
the shadows are nothing to worry about
it's just a reflection on the skin of a puddle
the shadows are nothing to worry about
ghosts dont exist
i shouldnt concern myself with ominous barks
the shadows are nothing to worry about
even though my dog is visibly concerned
the shadows are nothing to worry about
the thing approaching us is just a normal dog
the shadows are nothing to worry about
it looks like its made of mercury and thats fine
the shadows are nothing to worry about
ghost dogs dont exist, and if they did, they wouldnt be on my
street
the shadows are nothing to worry about
so why am i running back home
the shadows are nothing to worry about
so why is my real dog crying
ghost dogs absolutely do not exist and there is not one on my
street right now
the shadows are nothing to worry about
so what do i even mean by real dog
the shadows are nothing to worry about
so why am i even entertaining the concept of a ghost dog
that was a ghost dog
no
theres
no such thing as a
ghost dog
and if there WAS it wouldnt be HERE thats not
POSSIBLE
if i ACCEPT the PRESENCE
of a ghost dog
i have to accept the EXISTENCE of a ghost dog
the EXISTENCE of a PRESENCE and the PRESENCE of
a new kind of EXISTENCE
in the shape of a DOG
my eyes are lying to me
or science is lying to me
or fucking both somehow
okay im home. im home. im home. im home
nothing is out of the ordinary here
it is a totally
normal
cobblestone
street!
the moon is bright and the sky is cloudless
not a drop of rain, nary a tapping on my chamber door or whatever
and all the corvids are silent
and i cant stress enough that i didnt encounter a ghost dog
there is absolutely definitely one hundred percent nothing to
worry about
so why am i making so certain the door is locked
