I I hate tricks. I know. I know. Trix me. Oh, come here. What's up with me? Comes with me. Why am I all Why am I Why am I messing up? I'm glitching. That is glitching. Oh, there we go.
But hey, come here. Oh, yeah. I think it was broken today. The Streamyard and the I don't know. I couldn't chat. It was a nightmare. I had a nightmare that we were just chatting with all emojis and I was hungry.
Is that a nightmare? I'm still hungry. I remember the emoji part.
Hi guys. You ever have a problem today? You couldn't chat in the chats because there was like emoji problems.
I wish I could sleep for the next just 48 hours and say sleep. I'm sleeping until I was awake again.
Let me see. Let me I think I have a cigar around here somewhere.
I wish I had like great things to say right now. Hold on, let me check.
Nothing too great to say. Oh, maybe I'll get my video up. Hasn't been working for the last few days. Like nothing like you know, isn't it weird when like nothing works for a while and it's like the chat didn't work. I couldn't move my video. Nothing worked. Now it's working. Okay. Okay. That's a good compromise. Long as long as this works, I can make a video. I was
trying to finish this one so I could show you guys. I have Hansel and Gretle get lost in Delama Mall. Whatever it's called. I don't know what it's called necessarily yet, but they're they're lost in a mall. I just couldn't finish it up. I can finish it. It's working. Okay, guys. I'm happy now. I can get a video up for you guys. This
will be entertaining for you and me. Uh I've been making these new things. You could, if you don't know, I like I grew up on a background of fairy tales. Like that's where I came from. Basically like someone wrote a fairy tale book. I appeared somewhere around the around the time of that. I love fairy tales, but you know, I got bored with like how fairy tales are like, you know, the old
fairy tales and so I was ready for like new fairy tales. So I'll make them if nobody else can. But other people have tried or trying to make really cool ones like the futuristic or like um Twilight Zone or like um the Outer Limits or some kind of cool twist to them or something like that, you know? I want like a cool twist to what it's commonly known. So, I
have my own version of fairy tales. And now I'm going to be able to print out or generate or whatever. I'm able to make this video. It'll take a little bit. Hopefully, you guys are good. You can type again. Yeah, chat is fixed. Thank god. Wasn't that terrible? That was terrible. I It was like a nightmare. All I could do is chat type emojis and I
can't really express myself through emojis that well. I mean, I kind of can, but I can't really. Okay, so we're almost done. I'm able to Now I'm able to make this thing. Oh, you guys, if you want to help out tonight, you really can help out by getting a reading tonight. If I can make 10 bucks, I can at least get a Subway
tonight and then I'll have food in my stomach. I'll feel better. I'll feel better. I just had a bad day. We all have bad days. It's okay. It's okay if we don't. But still, even if you want a free reading, I'll do a free reading. I don't care. But I'll do an extra special reading if you can donate five to 10 bucks.
Okay. Well, this is working out now. Okay. So, now I can finally finish this fairy tale for you guys. How are we doing in chat? I still have another half. Why do they hurt me? I don't know, Romulus. I don't know. They just don't like me. It's okay. Hey, I'm used to it. I'm used to it. I'm used to it.
I I don't expect anything from anybody really. I seem to have survived this far. If I'm if I'm alive, that means something. I might just die if like there is nothing. But there's something there's something there's a little bit of like a like a little bit of love somewhere from somebody keeping me
alive. Guys, this will be epic. By the way, this will be so good. I'll be able to finish it. It'll just take a little while. People think, "Oh, he makes these things that need time." They take a lot of time and I need it to work. I need everything to be working properly. I need to be able to generate stuff. Then it turns out really good. But when I'm not Oh, that sucked today. I guess I
still have another half of my beer left, so I'll be okay. Okay. Am I almost done? I'm almost ready, guys. It's almost ready. It's really almost ready. I think I have almost a few like scenes to do left of it. As long as they come up. Okay. It seem to be working right now for some reason. I just have to when that when it works, I just go with it. Okay, guys. How are you guys? Good to see you guys.
Thank you for being here. I don't know why they hurt me. I don't know why. Here, watch this sweet video. This is my heart right here.
night turns in the hush of the Who's there? Hello? Are you there? Escape the matrix. Who's that? Does anybody hear that person?
Escape the matrix. Are you there? Okay. Well, they left. Okay. So, now I have to try again. Well, here. Just watch.
She feels the universe when he calls. They taught him the world is a cage made of sh a calendar heartbeat, a clock made of wood. But he found a small doorway in starlet mistakes and it opened the moment her true

swears the whole cosmos gets quiet to hear how we can speak to the silence like it's a dear friend. So if they try calling you dumb and brand new, tell them I'm not for your judgments. I'm someone that's true. My ex is magical daughter. Midnight and bloom. She walks

Okay. Later. I think later. Today's a day of technical difficulties. You know that guys? Sometimes it's a day of technical difficulties. We all have those days. But guys, my Hansel and Gretle story is finally couldn't. It says couldn't export. Oh my god, guys. Nothing works. Nothing works today, right? Have you Has
anyone had technical problems? First, my my streamy art is not working. My Oh, like nothing works. I love you too, Jesse. Here. Here. Invite. Want to come up and say hi. Just see him.
Come on up. You can say hi. But nothing works. Everything says, "Oh, try later. I was on Joker's all day." Is it working now? My Sorry, couldn't export. Retry.
I'll keep retrying. Isn't that ridiculous though? I just couldn't export. Maybe I can do this way. Hold on. I need at least a preview of it. Hold on. I think I got it. Maybe I have it.
Okay, I think I got it. Here. Watch, guys. You at least get a preview of it. It's not working all the way. Share screen window. Here we go.
Who's there? I don't see anybody. Hold on. I'll watch this for a minute.
I promise it's good. Here is something true about dead malls. They don't die all at once. They die from the outside in. The anchor stores go first. The big ones you remember from childhood. Then the middle fills with dollar stores and phone case kiosks and
those massage chair vendors who watch you walk past without blinking. And then those go. Then the food court closes. The fountain stops and the lights begin to fail section by section like a city losing power grid by grid. But there is always one store still open. You've seen
it. You've wondered about it. That one lit window in the dark. The sign still buzzing. The door still unlocked. You tell yourself it's a lease issue. A stubborn owner. a technicality. You don't go in. Pansel and Gretle went
in. Their stepmother had brought them here. That part is true in every version of the story. Brought them and left them. Said she was finding a bathroom. Said she'd be right back. That was 3 hours ago. And the mall had been closing around them in stages since then.
Fluoresence clicking off. security gates rattling down over storefronts like metal eyelids. They tried to find the exit. The mall maps just said you are here. The dot was always in the center. They'd walk toward whichever colored arrow said exit and find themselves eventually
right back at the fountain. The basin had been dry for years, filled with thousands of coins, grain with age, some pressed flat by something heavy, handled through one in anyway. It didn't wish. It just landed. Gretle was reading the directory. Something was wrong with the store
numbers. Not wrong in a way she could explain, just wrong. The way a familiar word looks wrong if you stare at it for too long. JC Penney appeared at 1 A and again at 47F. The food court was listed twice. A store
called Sweet Things appeared with no number beside it. Just a dot. She looked up. Down the east corridor, the long one past the shuttered GameStop. There was a light dot warm dot yellow. The color of a kitchen window at night when you're
standing outside in the cold looking in. Someone's still here. Hansel said the corridor was longer than the map had suggested. This is a thing about dead malls no one tells you. The geometry changes when no one is shopping. With crowds, the space
compresses around other bodies. Without people, the mall becomes what it always was, an enormous box of air pretending. They passed the same shuttered pale three times. Gretle counted. She kept count because she was the kind of person who kept receipts, who noted things, who
dropped candy wrappers at each corner they turned so they could find their way back. The wrappers were from the last of the working vending machines, still running, still dispensing, restocked by no one. The candy had been stale and tasted wrong, and they ate it anyway because the hunger had started to feel
like it had been there longer than just a day. She had left a trail. She looked back. The floor was clean, no wrappers. The third pale had a mannequin in the window. The first two hadn't. Sweet things was everything the mall had
stopped being. Warm lit, smelling of butter and sugar and something under that. Beneath the sweetness, the way rod hides beneath fruit. A woman stood behind the counter, older, small. She had the particular patience of someone
who has been waiting a specific amount of time and knows it is almost done. She smiled. "We're lost." Gretle said. "Everyone who comes here is," the woman said. "That's what the mall is for now." She fed them. There was a back room, she
said, warm with cops, with everything. They could wait for morning. for their stepmother, for someone to come. Gretle ate. Hansel looked at the display cases. Chocolates molded into shapes. Hands, faces, small curled figures
exactly the right size for something he couldn't name but recognized. The way you recognize a space made for a specific object, even when the object is gone. Can I see the back room? He said. The woman's smile did not change. Of
course. The back room was a stock room. Metal shelving. Old inventory. The smell of cardboard going soft in the damp. A door at the far end. Heavy metal. Combination lock left open. Beyond it. Cold blue light. In the mall, not an
exit. The same mall, the same fountain with the same dead coins, the same directory with the same uncoordinated dot, the same long dark corridor stretching east, the same warm yellow light burning at the end of it. Hansel
stood in the doorway for a long time. Gretle was behind him. He turned to tell her what he found. She was holding a candy wrapper. I found one, she said, from our trail. He took it. The foil was oxidized.
The logo was an old version of the logo, a design that hadn't been in use for a long time. He looked at the font, at the colors, at the date stamped in the corner in faded ink, and he understood that the hunger they'd felt had not started today. They
went back to the counter. The display case now had to empty spaces. The right size. How long? Gretle said. It wasn't a question. The woman didn't make it one either. The mall doesn't keep time the way you do. But you've been here long
enough. The entrance was still there. The door they'd come through still unlocked. Hansel opened it. Beyond was the parking lot, dark and empty. A sky the color of a monitor left on in an empty room.
And somewhere past the highway, the road back. Home or the shape of it. He held the door. Gretle looked at it. She looked at the woman. She looked at the candy wrapper foil, old logo, a date from before. either of their births. She
turned it over in her hands and she thought about the hunger, about how long it had been there, about how the food in this place was the first thing that had made it quiet. She took a step back from the door. Gretle. I'm hungry, she said. I'm still so hungry. The mall is still
there. Off the highway, past the exit, most GPS systems flag as closed. One store lit in the dark, sign still buzzing, door still unlocked. You've probably driven past it. You probably didn't stop. That was the right choice. Most people make the
right choice, but you've been a little hungry lately, have you? Have you? Haven't you? Haven't we all? Where am I? I'm still here, guys. The chat was all broken today. It was broken.
No one could talk. I was at my my sweetheart Joker's chat. He didn't notice I was there. It was so sad. I'll see if he's still on. Who's on right now? Let's see who's on right now. Isn't the internet cool? I mean, it's like it is pretty cool. You have to admit.
Why am I so drunk? I don't know. Let's see who's on. Oh, money 420 is on. We can stream snipe somebody. Let's stream snipe him.
Stream snipe him.
