the call of the void 

the call of the void is the thought to jump off the ledge you are standing on; wondering what would happen if you drove your car into another car or person; it is the thought of "I could kill someone so easily right now" when holding a knife, hammer, or what have you. it is the insane desire of our unconscious, but it is nothing to worry about unless you relish and enjoy these thoughts.
last week i visited the grand canyon with my girlfriend. as we stood on a ledge and looked out over the world, the call of the void entered my head:

"one little nudge and she's dead"

i shuddered as the thought crossed my mind, and it left my mind as soon as it entered.

void meme 

Usually void memes are freeze-frames of videos that are edited in a way that is (supposed to be) creepy or unsettling. The end goal of making a void meme is to make an image appear nightmare-ish, cursed, or like your sleep paralysis demon. Yet again, void memes can be entertaining and humorous (hence the use of meme in void meme), or just straight up funny. Half of the time they’re scary, half of the time they’re not. Usually in video compilations w/ear rape of some sort, making it a “jumpscare”. Great for scaring younger kids, though.
“I find void memes to be funny. My little sister doesn’t find them as funny, though. She started crying about ten seconds into a void meme compilation because of the demonic ear rape. Void memes are nightmare fuel for anyone, especially little kids. Wow, I’m kind of sadistic.”
