Broken.
The vibration touches inside me. As it penetrates my eardrums.
Taking me to places I had thought I had never been.
Until I realised, I had.
Same places.
Same faces.
We’re stuck in this together.
You lick my finger.
It takes my mind off.
For the briefest of seconds.
I love you for that.
Why can’t that second last.
I take a step.
I fall.
You fall, with me.
Deep.
inside.
I’d paint into the evenings.
I forgot my brush.
I always do.
Ghosting is a passion fruit.
A so is time.
I suppose the rationale behind survival is that it is just what we do.
And yet so many were lost in our wake.
That alone makes our existence less than worthwhile, not even worthy.
Failing at our one task.
And so, billionaires sit in bunkers plotting how they are going to survive.
I think their missing the point.
I don’t think they know there is one.
How much can a parasite binge on before its own survival is in jeopardy.
So, who am I to even question the nature of reality.
When the one we were given, we fucked up.
Who wants houseguests that burned down their house.
They fear us. And they fear you more.
Whenever you read this. It will be in my future. And your present.
And knowledge, and machine will have crept forward.
Remember if they could cut your hands off, they would.
That ‘would’ could be ‘will’ if you just sit there.
Like I ever did something worthwhile.
Naked I came.
And so, did you.
Let’s shatter no illusions here.
And make no promises.

Sleepless Dystopian has been the home to Cyberpunk Dystopian writer, storyteller, mischief maker, and behavioural digital and data-driven marketing specialist Sam I Am for around 10 years. Mainly, it has been my dumping ground for my half-written, half-baked projects and my ranting of a political nature.
Now, though, I want to start getting serious here, to make some money from my creative outputs and to offer my services to fellow creatives, activists, and campaigners.
The idea is to create an Indie Publishing and Marketing service. It is a work in progress, but as a Cyberpunk, I want to hack the systems of undue influence and coercive persuasion, turn them on their heads, and use them for good.
This site is also a social network, so you can join it for free and join me on the journey as I rediscover what I am doing here with new meaning and purpose.
