Blinker

"He-he-he-he-he-he-hello viewers! Welcome back to Tales from the Tube! With me, your host, shaped from the particle static of the experimental labs on TV Mountain, it's Blinker!

Blinkety-blink blink blink blink blink Blinker is made of pure being! Every particle inside of Blinker is alive! Alive, alive!

Maybe Blinker contains one of your particles. Eww!

When you watch Blinker, you are Blinker! What Blinker feels, you feel! Blinker's pain is your pain! Ouchie, ow, that hurt!

This is Blinker coming to you from inside the tube. From signal to electron. From photon to oblivion.

Chase the snow!

All hail the new static! Blinker is the space between the channels. And that channel changes you! You, you! Uh oh!"
