 #FunForEveryoneChallenge

Everyone loves internet challenges, from the cinnamon challenge where people shovel heaped tablespoons of cinnamon into their mouths to the ice cube challenge where participants place some salt upon their hand and then place an ice cube onto the mound of salt, burning their skin in the process but know this reader, worse challenges exist, much worse.

Recently, I found one called the Fun for everyone challenge. Posted by someone called iam4nothing on Twitter, a silly social networking site that everyone has heard of, the challenge told of how ‘everyone can have fun with this challenge and the steps would be posted one at a time.’ I didn’t know it at the time but this was going to be the death of me.

‘First, take a piece of paper and write the names of the three people you love most in your life, place this sheet under your pillow and sleep with it.’

I was extremely curious as to where this was going to go, intrigued and strangely enthralled by this challenge, I decided to follow their instructions. I wrote down the three people’s names, my sister, my girlfriend and my best friend’s names went onto a slip of paper which I placed under my pillow and waited for tomorrow’s post.

I woke up and checked my pillow to see if the piece of paper was still there, I know it sounds crazy to check if it was gone but I’m known for being a hypochondriac. The slip of paper was still there and I laughed, why did I think it would have gone. Checking Twitter to see if this iam4nothing person had posted the next step which, of course, they had.

‘Time for the next step, take that piece of paper and rip it to pieces, scattering it into the winds’

This was just getting stranger but of course, I couldn’t resist the challenge and ripped the piece of paper up and prepared to throw the pieces when a cold gust of wind tore them from my hand and scattered them around anyway. I shrugged and went back inside, sitting down on the couch and watching some of the news before heading out with some of my friends to the park. We joked about and spent some time listening to music before going home and lying down.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "CenturyGothic",sans-serif">I was confused by this post, deeply confused, what did it mean by scattering the pieces of those people, what had happened to them. Worried and disturbed, I hurried to the phone and quickly rang up my girlfriend.
