This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

where's the fun in that? Make the last step a little bit shorter or higher!
They do this in some castles to trip up the invaders
Not invaders but assassins. The people who belong to the castle will be used to the stairs. Any outside intruders will stumble about and therefore be heard.
"stumble steps"
also "trip steps"
That's a subtle ingenious trap.
Funny story: I built the staircase heading up to my loft, and spent days sourcing the perfect planks for the risers so I'd have exactly 13 steps.
Forgot to account for the loft's floorboards and beams, now I have a 13.25-step staircase.
