"Things are not always as they seem, Welcome to Nightvale."


"Something has come to my attention of late that I feel the urge to share with you my dear listeners. You trust me, Cecil Palmer. I would never lie to you, anything that you hear on this station you can be sure is the absolute truth- as far as I myself am aware. So I will continue to tell the truth because it would be dishonest to do otherwise You may recall the time that I was terrified by Station Management for saying too much about their physical appearance, you will remember that I made a heroic run for the door while with trembling voice I admitted that I might not survive to make another broadcast….That was the truth. Cecil Palmer is dead. I am a mere apparition, a continuation of all of his memories up until the point where he ran for the door and begged management for his life... and now that I have confessed the truth none of you will remember this little confession; because telling the truth and having all of you forget it is different from never telling the truth at all and now we can all go about our lives without feeling guilty about not being honest with each other.. the important thing is that the real Cecil learned one vital lesson before his tragic and untimely death; Don't anger station management...see don't you feel better already, knowing he learned a valuable lesson?... Well this ends our short broadcast….Goodnight, Nightvale and remember it's okay to forget…..
