[@ShadowZCloud]

Call the Veterinarian, and reciprocate your paper through the steps of CPR. Because sooner or later, Superman will shoot your paper with his laser eyes, making it burn again. So this time, you need to use a condom for your pencil so that Superman won't see it, as he rides his butterfly to the moon, while he make out with an albino walrus. I'm high, but listen to me. It always works.
