Cushing Library Haunted by Better Game of Thrones Finale

In an official report submitted to the Texas A&M Department of Paranormal Occurrences on October 31st, 2020, a librarian claimed to have felt the presence of a better Game of Thrones finale haunting Cushing Library.  The television adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s epic book series died a tragic death back in May 2019. The cause of death was a rushed finale.

In the report, librarian Kelly Richardson said she heard the whispers of a better finale, one that was less lifeless and had realistic actions consistent with the characterization of beloved figures. The ghostly whispers told of plans of revenge on the show’s creators. Cushing Library is home to the George R.R. Martin collection and houses prized materials from the novels and show. Richardson claimed that at one point, the memorabilia associated with the Game of Thrones TV adaptation seemed to be shaking with rage at the show’s failure to resurrect during quarantine.

“I felt the temperature drop faster than the show’s creators rushed the final season’s writing,” Richardson said. She was tasked to re-organize George R.R. Martin’s manuscripts when the incident happened. “I suppose it makes sense as to why the ghost of the finale is so angry, though. ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ ended in 2008, but it had a renaissance during the early stages of quarantine. I wouldn’t be too happy either to suddenly disappear from the pop culture’s consciousness.”

To address the problem, Texas A&M assigned a task force in hopes of relieving Cushing Library of the ghost of Game of Thrones past. In a press conference detailing the events of the exorcism, team officials directly addressed the crowd to encourage students to dial the exorcism hotline when they feel the unwanted presence or haunting of “what could have been.” To contact the hotline, dial *5 and scream the complaint into the phone.
