ILI - Initiate Linkware Interface
Slipstream . . .
Ones and Zeros
significant bits
Rustling . . .
The sound of trillions of
insect legs on dry leaves
Adrift in the currents of
the data stream
In the hiss of the cyber sea
It all becomes so clear
so . . . simple
If only real life
could be like this
PCF - Purge Corrupted Files
Bathed in the pale
green illumination
The body jerks
strains against the padded restraints
Convulses
Someone else's mouth
screams
RAI - Restore Archival Image
Quiet
The gentle piping of
the recorders
The subtle thrumming of
the life conduits
Whir click
whir click click
The hand twitches
IAP -Institute Autonomous Protocols
He pulls himself
into a sitting position
Slightly troubled eyes scan the debris
cluttering the lab floor
Nothing moves
Where did they go?
He drags himself erect
Bracing himself against the wall
he struggles for the door
on the far wall
Where did they go?
