GAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRHHHDDJJJJJJJJJJJJÜÜÜÜOW
something is very wrong. There is a loud noise; it sounds like someone is standing right beside me cutting bricks with a circular saw.
It sounds like something big and sturdy is rapidly being ground into small pieces with the dispassionate brutality of a very powerful machine.
GAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRHHHDDJJJJJJJJJJJJÜÜÜÜOW
It sounds a bit like the world is ending and the abyssal maw devouring it has appeared right there, beside my bed.
I feel like I'm about to die.
GAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRHHHDDJJJJJJJJJJJJÜÜÜÜOW
By some miracle, my still half-asleep brain snaps into reality and determines the actual source of the terrifying noise only a short time after realizing that it is 100% real and 100% right beside me. I fumble for my phone in the dark.
GAAAAARR—
The noise finally stops as I unlock my phone. KATWARN wants to inform me that emergency services are currently unavailable due to technical difficulties.
