your name is wire

you and sane have a complicated backstory.

the dream starts: my hands are shaking. what is this signal i keep receiving everywhere. a recognizeable sequence. in every lightbulb, traffic light, high pitched wirring. it seems its following me around. i dont understand what it wants from me. i stare at the flickering light as if i was looking into someones eyes, waiting for explanation. but the light keeps flickering unchanged. the next morning wake up at 5 am without alarm. i am wide awake. the thought of staying in bed feels impossible, so i leave the house and walk along the river. the city is dead.

no people are out at this time. I am a rogue player at this time. the city is not accounting for me to be here right now. the city lights try to lead me back home, but aimlessly i walk into dark side streets.

my walking turns into running. i am running now, this triggers an automatic security feature of the lanterns and the walkway is now blocked within a range of 5m. I have to log into a website with my phone to deactivate the barrier. my phone is at 3 percent so i try to be quick. I have to send a photo of my face with an explanation of why i am running.

The program quickly reviews my previous paths and the explanation and after some minutes the barrier goes down again. startled, i walk back home and lay on my mattress looking at the ceiling. i feel like staying in for the rest of the day. In the evening you join a group of people in a garage.
