Writing “Jump directly over the first balcony.” Pepper OK! Writing “You may notice a falling sensation. This is normal. This is a shortcut.” Sound BOING BOING Writing “Enjoy the comfort of the illuminated web without any risk: these spiders are photosynthetic and feed off of the reflected light.” “I recommend a quick nap to restore all your strength.” Pepper I so love books!
