[ WP ] : Someone hands you a paper , stating that you only have 10 days left to live .

`` You have ten days left to live.'' 
 
 That's all the paper said. I figured it was a piece of trash, a scrap of an ad that an asshole decided to stick to me rather than throw out. I did n't even catch who put it on me at the time. 
 
 Like a sane person, I ignored it. 
 
 It happens again the next day. Except now I apparently only had nine days left. The message comes in form of sticky note this time, so it almost certainly is n't some weird coincidence. My next assumption is that it's a bizarre prank, so I cryptically ask all of my friends if they know anything about a movie with `` ten days to live'' as its tagline. Our ensuing discussions remind me that I do n't know anyone clever enough to pull a prank like this. 
 
 Retrospectively, I have no idea why I was so scared. I almost never respond to those `` copy and paste this message or die'' things, but this was different. 
 
 The same routine continues for the next eight days. I forget about it until the third - what could I do? I'm a busy man. But when I got the post-it that said I had three days to live... I lost it. 
 
 It was all I could think about. I called the cops once, but they did n't care. They said it was just a joke. They do n't know anything. I just fund their jobs if I get killed, why would they want to save me? 
 
 I did n't leave my house on the final day. If I did n't get the post-it, I could n't die, right? That made sense to me. It still does. But I made a mistake. I checked my email. What did I see? One message. From my brother. Subject: One day left to live. I dared to open it: 
 
 U HAVE BEEN SPOOKED BY THE SPOOKY SKILENTON 
 
 DO THIS TO 4 PPL OR SKELINTONS WILL EAT YOU
