T-Rex: I have written the spookiest ghost story ever! It is called, "The Man Who Died And Came Back As A Ghost".
T-Rex: It's spooky! It says so in the first sentence!
T-Rex: It says, "It was spooky night, with a ghost! The ghost was the spookiest ghost in the world, and he was so spooky that if you saw him you'd be scared, for real!"
Narrator: 〚with an arrow pointing at Dromiceiomimus〛 (unimpressed look)
T-Rex: The, um
T-Rex: The next paragraph is "BOO!"
Utahraptor: T-Rex, you have to make your readers feel scared! You just can't tell them they're scared.
T-Rex: Sure I can!
T-Rex: "The ghost explains that even if you were just reading about these events later, you'd still be scared. You realize with a chill that he is right."
Utahraptor: It's a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book?
T-Rex: It is now! It is if that's the format I have to use to tell my readers that they're scared!
Narrator: LATER T-REX GIVES A READING OF HIS NEW BOOK:
T-Rex: Turn to page 32 to be spooked by the spooky ghost! Turn to page 14 if you'd rather see the same ghost and be TERRIFIED!
