Die Rivalen and Digits

Story

Die Rivalen

It is always the wrong time and wrong place with you.

Auseinandersetzung. Conflict.

Lines crossed out and rewritten again.

Crumpled papers litter the floor like

Twitching limbs severed from bodies.

You wreak havoc and leave chaos in your wake.

Ruthless editor wages war on my mind.

Bluttat. Blutbad. Bloody massacres on paper.


Digits

Zeros and Ones.

Memories overflow with big data

/reboot system/

Humans turn into code

Just digits on someone’s fluorescent screen.

Connection disrupted…

Who are we evolving into?


Encounters take place in Virtual Reality

Error 404 – Not found.

Emojis are our universal language now

We pray to the modern Gods of technology, media, and electricity.

What are we becoming?

Algorithms.
