When Scratch Team tells you to follow the guidelines, they mean it. I would know myself. As a kid (I still am) I enjoyed being a so called, "bad boy." As in, being annoying and mischievous because I wanted to. I really had no real intention when doing it, I was just being the annoying kid for fun. I especially liked online trolling, and cyberbullying. When I stumbled upon Scratch, I immediately started attacking people. Commenting things like, "Your art sucks, I could do way better." "This game barely works." and, "You're trash." Stuff like that. And it was stuff like that which got me permabanned. This wasn't going to stop me though so I created a new account. To save you the details, I'll just say I got banned again. IP this time. So, I used my mother's laptop. I still wonder why I was so relentless on these insults. Continuing my online barrage on other users, something changed when I posted an insult with the usual comment ban for a few minutes. Instead of the simple message, it brought me to another website without a URL somehow. It was just a black screen. Words flashed on my mother's device, shining brightly into my eyes. The words read, "WANNA TRY THAT AGAIN?" The sentence would duplicate itself in a frenzy and bounce around the screen. I couldn't close the tab and the words only cloned itself more. Looking closer, a Scratch Cat slowly appeared into view. But, something didn't look right. The mascot looked uncanny to the cat I used to know. Legs ending in a point, floating hands, and most notably, the giant eye that assumably had another, just covered by the shadows. It stared me in my eyes. 2 big eyes toward mine. Until the device shut off. But the sentence continued to play in my head. And it has ever since. Sometimes it feels like that "cat" is just standing right behind me, whispering the same phrase over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
