Calm Down

It’s just a game…

Left the live I had

To nuke all targets down.

You’re a player in this set.

Sound test.

You ready yet?

…palette swapped.

The playwright of roles.

Save point.

Now achieving new goals.

Hand held, in survival mode.

Pocket my sightless captor

Mission: happily ever after.

Checkpoint.

Manipulated duality.

Aiming down sights.

Suspended in reality.

Shoot ‘em up.

I control your eyes.

Spectator mode.

No one will see you cry.

Stun locked.

Wait! Please…

Take this off!

I can’t see.

….

VR has nothing compared to the hold I have on me.
