dead. again.
another runner asked me if it hurts.
think they were curious because it hurts for them.
"yeah" i told them.
"but not in the way you think.
it's the only thing i feel"
dying doesn't even hurt as bad as transfer.
can't even call it dying.
"bio synthetic tissue termination"
whatever.
haven't figured out where the consciousness is stored yet.
probably mars.
i lost something last run.
what's off is i can't remember what it was.
there is a piece missing.
not the loot.
of me.
something that doesn't quite fit on a neat little timeline.
part of the consciousness is fragged.
not sure if that's new or not.
fragged.
not sure if it was taken or there was a glitch.
but something else happened too, fighting other runners this last run...
i got stuck
in a hallway
aiming down my sights
at another runner.
one of those
shells wearing a hood, he'd uncloaked there in front of me and it
wasn't his face or his clothes but in his eyes there was something i
don't....
"hey."
the other runner is still looking at me.
i don't know how long
i've been quiet.
don't know if i finished the sentence or if i'm still
on "yeah."
i might be losing it.
