FINAL UPDATE: THE SIGN. That's it, I'm done.
As the post title says, this is the final update regarding the Gravity Falls sign. So far I've had to clean up paint, and I've been punched. Twice. Then I was...I don't know. It's almost 1am and I am covered in mud, cold, and tired. I don't even know what to think anymore, my mind is all fuzzy and I just can't keep warm. I am getting rid of the sign I think, getting it far, far away from me. I think it's for the best. I also think it's time for a nice break from Reddit. There are no more things to come, no more secrets, no more puzzles to solve.
Thank you to all the kind people who stuck with me through this, giving me assurance and help...it's all appreciated. I thought I'd get to the bottom of all this, as I was stubbornly convinced that the supernatural did not exist. Yet here I am at my wit's end without a culprit at hand. There are so many dots that don't connect, each one branching infinitely far. The only thing that connects the most dots is the exact thing I don't want to accept: that I found this sign for a reason, that nobody but me was at the shop, that I really did end up covered in all this mud.
I know you're all going to ask me if I made the deal. I'm sorry but I can't answer that. I also can't tell you what I am going to do with the sign, I think it's best that everyone forgets all about this.
If I can impart one piece of advice to any of you, it's this: if you see something strange, leave it well enough alone. There are forces in this world that call for us, singing sweetly to lure us just close enough to be reached. There is no telling what can happen if you allow it to reach you. I pray I remain out of reach until the day I die.
Six posts, like Ford's six fingers. Ha. Thanks for introducing me to such a wonderful show.
