[00:13.95]An Awful Thing
[00:21.65]可怕的东西
[00:31.87]A couple of friends and I were hangin' out one day
[00:35.79]and we found an Ouija board in one of their basements.
[00:40.14]It was really nice,
[00:42.84]not one of those mass produced plastic things,
[00:46.84]it was made of wood
[00:48.66]and had intricate¹ carvings² all around its base,
[00:52.53]like moons and stars and other cosmic³ stuff,
[00:56.73]I don't really remember it that well
[00:59.15]except they were very detailed
[01:01.15]and looked hand carved.
[01:03.71]We didn't think much of it at the time
[01:06.50]because we were black widow hunting
[01:09.42](not one of our smarter ideas,
[01:12.37]but it was a rush when we found one).
[01:15.90]I'd also like to say that we don't drink, do drugs,
[01:20.55]or anything that would mess with your mind like that.
[01:24.37]Day turned to night and we had given up our hunt
[01:28.07]and started playing X-Box.
[01:30.75]We got bored shortly after.
[01:33.36]So one of my friends decided⁴ to go the board.
[01:36.71]When he brought it back
[01:38.64]I swear it had grown at least a foot in all directions
[01:42.91]from the last time I saw it
[01:44.97](not important, it just intrigued⁵ me).
[01:48.58]Anyway we went on to ask it stuff
[01:51.18]and nothing happened,
[01:52.76]so my other friend went to his computer
[01:55.67]and looked up some ancient druid chant
[01:57.95]to open some vortex thing.
