Deception

Everything around you is a lie. Consider yourself warned. Now read carefully and quick and set this manual on fire. Scatter the ashes and run far away from this life, leaving everything behind. Then you might have a slight chance of survival.

Hades’ three-headed dog is after you. You have upset the God Of Death by saving the one who should’ve been dead. Your one act of kindness ruined your life as it was. There is one way to make the dog lose your scent. They hate birds. So, grab 3-day old brown eggs and smash it in a bowl with the eggshells. Add a pinch of sugar and stir while thinking of the happiest thing that has ever happened to you. Whatever happens, do not think of kittens. Your life is at stake. The dog is getting closer. Hurry! Put a tablespoon full of cornflour into the mixture. What do you mean you don’t have cornflour??! Wheat flour will have to do then. Mix the mixture in full speed with all your strength. Did I mention your life depends on it? Now carefully lift the mixture standing on one foot. Do not spill one bit on the floor. Focus. (Om)

Now close your eyes and breathe.

Then put it on your head for being so stupid and believing this tale.
