This is Only a Test

This is a test of the emergency literary system.
This system is established to maintain literary diversity
in the event of a public literary emergency.


Had this been an actual emergency
this message would contain directions
to where diverse literary materials could be found
and information on how long the state of emergency might last.
Copies of Naked Lunch and the Subterraneans
will be air-dropped to isolated communities if needed.


If an actual emergency should arise, 
please maintain calm and stay in the appointed 
literary shelters until the "all clear" sounds.
