Three B’s.
The triple letter conundrum so insane, I lack the courage to explain it. Twenty six letters in the English language, and yet a repetition of merely the second has lifted me off of my toes and thrown me into the sky.
It defies everything and anything.
Why, why does such a simple thing boggle the brain and twist the senses?
Is it due to the brain being unable to accept, unable to believe in impossibilities?
Or, perhaps, is it due something more, something far greater, and far more frightening.
I do not know.
I do not know these things and perhaps I never shall, but what I do know is this: never trust what is placed before your eyes, as the truth blinds you.
That is all. I hope this small yet important note on the Triple B problem will aid you in your future.
I thank you for listening to me today.
Good day.
Yes, yes, thank you, thank you…
Ah, yes you, you have a question?
…
Hmm?
I don’t quite see what you mean. Hmm?
No, I will say that is not true. It cannot physically manifest itself upon a person. It is not conscious, no matter how intriguing it may seem. But, I will say, that is an interesting idea you have there young man. Maybe one day you will grow up to be a major author. I hope you succeed in your ideals, you are quite the innovative and inspiring young fellow!
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Well, if that is all, I do say that I must go now. Any more questions?
…
I see. Alright, good. Class, dismissed.

BBB.
I stare
BBB.
It doesn't go away.
BBB.
Why did this irregular pattern of lines and shapes enter my vision? It annoys me greatly, I must say, as it obscures everything that should be normally perceived by my eyes.
BBB.
Is there something special about this pattern? Perhaps it is a secret code of some sort?
BBB.
I frown.
BBB.
It’s repetition is annoying me. Can it perhaps go away, even for a moment?
BBB.
Why is it so keen on breaking my patience? Can it not tell I have not the time for its idle intrusion?
BBB.
Wait. Hmm. Now that I look at it closer… perhaps…
BBB.
It looks sort of familiar…
BBB.
It looks sort of like…
BBB.
Like…
BBB.
Like the letter B! My god, how have I not seen it before! It’s, it’s crazy! Why is it-
BBB.
Hey. Hello? Can you not interrupt me? I was about to-
BBB.
Hey! This insolent thing! It is only one letter, placed three times! Why does it think it can-

Bee,bee,bee, it’s just three letters, no? How can it do this? Why does it-
BBB.
Stop, stop, stop! Stop interrupting my train of thought! Stop being so repetit-
BBB.
Aargh, you foolish thing! All you are is a device, a tool human use to communicate with another, that's all, nothing more, nothing-
BBB.
Bee, bee, bee. Bee, bee, bee. It just keeps on going. Repeating. On and on and on and-
BBB.
On and on and on and on and on and-
BBB.
On and on and on and on and- why! Why, why, why do you hurt me so? Why do you burn my eyes? Why-
BBB.
Why?! Why, why, why, why, why-
BBB.
Bee-bee-bee-bee-bee-bee-bee! Always bee-bee-bee! Stop! No more! Enough! Enou-
