Ah!

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire

If you have read this far, not yet stoned AND still alive, you can choose either the red pill or the blue pill. The rest, as they say, will be history.

P.S. I had/have no intention of torturing anyone.
P.S.S. If this post seems too arbit, it's not my fault.
P.S.S.S Where am I?
