56-year-old Daniel Schaft analyzed if any dirt was still left under his very short nails. Unfortunately, the man’s fingers were so wide that he would commonly hit the wrong letters on the greasy keyboard.

Mermaids. I continue to be fascinated by their aesthetic. Even in the modern times there are alleged mermaid sightings, mummies, and bones.

A bitter taste is left when the pill dissolves. Those who decide to take it must swallow it raw. Do not wonder for too long before taking the black pill because its effects are not necessarily permanent. Loss comes the quickest. The trees, the meadows, the city streets all lose their beauty.
