* WeirdnessCensor: You are pleased to hear Your story being told on the radio. At no point does it seem to bother You that the man on the radio is revealing Your innermost thoughts and history even as they are happening. Even when You wonder how You got caught, You take "everything you're doing is being narrated on the radio" as an acceptable and not completely unusual answer.

As you continue reading, the page explains that "A Story About You" is a slightly different episode, in which Cecil narrates the day-in-the-life of a nameless Night Vale citizen from a second-person perspective; their day job moving boxes, enjoying food at the local Moonlite All Night Diner, and the strange apparition they seeing, of a dark planet lit by no sun. The person steals a mysterious box from their job, which calls down the wrath of a purple cloud on Night Vale. Because the radio is narrating every event of their life, the SecretPolice easily catch up with the citizen. The citizen's abandoned fiance appears with the SecretPolice, and the box is opened to reveal a miniature house. The Man Who Is Not Short holds a knife to the citizen's throat as they revel in the consequences of their actions finally catching up to them.
