CORRUPTED SEED

Static on the optic feed... A line of code I didn't read... A cold spot in the data-stream... A nightmare in a waking dream... Pixel bleed across my sight! A fractured sound in endless night! A corrupted memory, a broken file... A twisted version of a childhood smile... Firewalls are up, a new defense... This phantom's logic makes no sense... Not from The Feed, no corporate hack... A broken signal with no turning back... Pixel bleed across my sight! A fractured sound in endless night! A corrupted memory, a broken file... A twisted version of a childhood smile... I tracked the signal to a shielded core... A data-fragment I had seen before... Not a virus, not a vengeful creed... Just a forgotten, corrupted seed... Pixel bleed across my sight! A fractured sound in endless night! A corrupted memory, a broken file... A twisted version of a childhood smile... ...a childhood smile... ...a broken file... ...smile...
