## **Annie96 Is  Typing...** *by Pascal Chatterjee*

*While playing around with WhatsApp, I stumbled across a weird chat history between two people I don't know. It scared the hell out of me. When I tried to find it again, the app crashed, and kept crashing.*

*Luckily, I managed to make a copy. Here it is:*

**annie96**: you asleep??

**mcdavey**: no.. guess you're not either :p

**annie96**: can't.. it's the wind.. sounds like cats fighting. whats your excuse? :p
