Okay. So. I spent last night miserably insomniac and this morning wretchedly fatigued (and this evening nursing a migraine), BUT, A came through to the bedroom -- blinds (Venetian & blackout) down, lights off, etc -- to encourage me upright for lunch, and handed me my post.
It was dark. I was groggy. I had woken up from a deeply disorienting dream and had not quite fought my way clear of it yet. I was definitely feeling Off.
And I started opening the envelope, and it glowed purple at me.
I was startled, and alarmed, and more than half-convinced that I was hallucinating, but then I gingerly tried again and the same thing happened.
I wailed in dismay to Adam.
Adam was mildly surprised I'd never previously observed this, and presented me with a wikipedia page.
Apparently! I have probably! been getting letters that produce an Eldritch Purple Glow all along! but because, for obvious reasons, I mostly don't open my post in the dark, I was blissfully unaware of this fact! AND NOW I AM NOT. You're welcome.
