Whadda-ya-mean IF? IF? I should .....D I E..... Get back in here get me a night light, some demon repellent. Tell the Lord to keep his mitts offa my soul. Ain't sleepin' not tonight....not ever Where can i hide my soul. Damn....I don't even know what a soul looks like. Where can I hide? Under the bed in the closet....too easy. Maybe...YEAH...
