Your Fav Haunted Printer

*a slip of paper flutters across the void, shot into the darkness by what looks to be an old clunky printer..where did that come from? how odd*

*well, it does look like the piece of paper has something printed on it. Read?*

" ooooo, a fax! "

" it looks like, a message! "

*the printer gave a long buzz and another paper came out. It had a similar smiley face. It looked like the little void blob, even sporting a little bow*

The blob bounced in place happily

" thank you, thank you! "

" this is, my home "
