20 tales from dreadland
internal collapse remains perfectly concealed behind the immaculate surface, 9 to 6 sacrifice of real time, refunded in endless pixels of pure doom, as obstinate as Sisyphus, yet blind to the fact that your outcomes have long since been determined by the code, every attempt to break free is already mapped, cataloged, and absorbed, feeling like a spectator to my own mood shifts, glimpse of inspiration arriving at the wrong time, how a captive feels knowing they don't dopamine-shop like everyone else, last piece of flesh among the desert of data centers, me time-maxxing on a gaming chair, painstakingly staging the hyperrealities of tomorrow., peeling off the crash tested - hr approved rubber coating to expose the raw unfiltered sanity, seeking salvation from existential dread through the the use of acid reflux medicine, simulated avatars at war—staging fake outrage to persuade themselves they still exist, structural hierarchy of atmospheric simulation., the dummy walks directly out of the impact chamber to submit its final crash test report, the future is already pre-rendered, packaged, and filed away in the system's cache., the supreme authority at the origin scans your system for structural compliance, the ultimate consumer, seamlessly integrated into the inventory, with a sky full of drones, there are no birds left to shit on you, words shed their meaning long ago, surviving only as empty signifiers circulating in the void
