Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

You read this title.

You have clicked into this thread, presumably wondering why it has been bestowed with such a curious title. 

You have just finished reading the line above, which was not of much help.

Perhaps you continue reading, in hope that you find a reason. Patience is a rare trait in the world of endless distractions that is the internet today. You might have had patience to wait for two 15-second ads to play on the television years ago, but now you might rage at the presence of a five second wait before a video.

You may not realize it, but you are debating in your subconsciousness whether to leave this strange thread and stop wasting your screen time on usless words.

Look, someone left already. Not everyone has the time to read through this monolouge. 

But the text is under the writer's control. You are under the influence of the text, like you are under the influence of your device. The writer can easily drag your attention back with simple tricks,

for

instance,

by

utillizing

this 

long 

line 

of

words

and 

your 

natural 

curiosity

to 

force

you 

to 

continue

reading. 

Now,

some

might

realize

they

can

scroll

down

quickly

to

read

through

this.

But

the

writer

has

another

trick.

You might have read through that, but the writer is not to be outdone. BY Changing the font size one can achiVE VARiouS StaGes OF CHaos, Or perhaps -'[by'..,addin.;[]g ran$)dom @Symbols*))#. 

But tricks get old and worn out eventually, like socks. And readers have ideas of their own to simplify things. Perhaps you enlarged your screen. Or changed the font size. 

But.

It does not matter.

Because once you entered this world of words, the writer has won. The writer has won from the start.

Now, let us pause and look back at this interaction. Do you still remember why you came here?

And, most importantly, where has your precious, precious time gone?

Thanks for reading! This is just a wild Zealatom, passing through.

And sorry for the trouble, admins! Really sorry.
