Transcript

They say it was a ghost hiding behind a computer somewhere you'll never see.

I didn't think, I just tapped and the ghost took it all, every bit.

That's the thing about ghosts, you can't see them.

So if the reader looks off or unfamiliar, don't tap, just use your phone or chip instead.
