I don’t know what you’re all worried about. It’s always a bit dark and shadowy around the end of a thread, I suppose your eyes can play tricks on you - but if you go up close and feel around a bit… (rummages around) Nope. Feels just like an ordinary end of thread. Well, maybe the texture is rougher than usual… Sort of scaly, almost… And there’s this sort of breathing sound… And… ummm… [sub]help?[/sub] ---

Why? WHY would I read this right before going to bed? Of course, mine will be the last post, thus setting myself up to be the first one eaten when we reach the end of the thread… damn. I hate monsters. ---

On the contrary… we must continue to post to this thread, lest we get to the end. (I love reading the book and its sequel, and babygnu loves listening. I do a mighty fine Grover voice and a surprisingly good Elmo, too.) ---
