The ultimate troll move?

Silence

Leave.

Crickets.

Enjoy

Crickets…

You know the sound?

It’s the same one that tumbleweed makes as it bounces through a ghost town.

Every troll loves the sound of crickets…

Make a few nonsense peeps into the deep silence of the night.

Then?

Watch them twitch and squirm.

Because once you’ve trolled someone beautifully.

Leave it alone.

Say no more

Let the silence bloom.

Leave the mess.

Walk away

No apologies.
