Welcome To Night Vale, Episode 22. Jag relaterar mycket till detta idag.

The Night Vale School District announced that schools will be closed all of next week because: Nothing really matters, and is anything even real?
They cited the ever whitening night sky as the impetus for this decision. “How can we place any importance on something so insignificant as math, or spelling, or history, when the Void has already swallowed our tiny existence? We are ants, crushed daily by the indifferent feet of the universe, and it’s just no good anymore. We can’t carry on like this!”
The School Board said, swigging on a bottle of table wine and bobbing their heads weakly.
The School Board President, an enormous Glow Cloud that drops animals from great heights and casts a looming fog of despair over all it covers, added:
Grovel mortals. Put your tongues to the soil and beg for your worthless lives.
Some parents of course are very upset by the decision to close school, saying that we can’t let the vast incomprehensiblity of the unknowable universe stop us in our tracks, we have to keep pushing forward.
Treasurer of the Night Vale PTA Diane Creighton said, “School is a meaningful part of a child’s life, and to just shut it down because you’re scared of your own insignificance is ridiculous. See, I’m looking at the sky right now,” Creighton continued, “And I’m saying, you can’t hold me back sky! I can do any-
I can-
I-ack.”
Creighton then stopped speaking, lowered her loosening fist to her side, and then sighed audibly. She added: “Nothing is real, I don’t think. Whatever. Who cares?”
Then she stared back up at the sky, and a single tear zigzagged down her right cheek as she mumbled something about trees having the right idea.
