REFLECTIONS AND MIRRORS

You’ve done everything you can

But everything’s just not enough.

Your body keeps running

But you just need to stop

 

[ STOP RUNNING THIS SCRIPT? ]

 

Because it’s hurting you

Going through the motions

Is killing you

 

[ A SCRIPT ON THIS PAGE IS CAUSING YOUR WEB BROWSER TO RUN SLOWLY ]

 

The world doesn’t notice

But you

You tiny little microcosm—

You notice

And you know what happens

 

[ IF IT CONTINUES TO RUN ]

 

It’ll end you

It’ll break you

It’s a disaster—

 

[ YOUR COMPUTER MIGHT BECOME UNRESPONSIVE ]

 

So you try to save yourself

By pulling back and away

 

[ FORCE QUITTING APPLICATIONS ]

 

But everything is falling apart

 

[ SYSTEMS CRASHING ]

 

And nothing is making sense

 

[ SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN ]

 

And you wonder

 

[ REBOOT?: ]

 

Should you even bother trying again?
