Exclamation Point Update

Well the last few weeks have been both frightening and enlightening. Remember the exclamation point that I thought was following me? Turns out that it really was.

I'm leaving the Kwik E Mart the other night; it's late and I'm alone. Just as I get to my car, I am confronted by the exclamation point and several of its friends. Some of them were American, and some were those upside down foreigners. Needless to say, I was terrified and fully expected the worse.

So what happens? They all just stand there and stare. Then I realized that alone they were harmless to me. It was all the awful words I was casting between them that was making the situation so volatile. All this time, If I had been sending positive words like, "Great!", "Beautiful!", and "I Love You!", there would have never been a problem. I knew right then that I had been wrong about them.

What's more, I realized that there was a reason they were all standing before me. The pattern of right side up and upside down was their way of speaking to me in binary code. Each right side up representing a 0, and each upside down representing a 1. I'll leave the pattern for you in case you'd like to decode it for yourself.
