DAY 1: PARADOX / Emotional Mismatch

PROMPT: Visual data begins to overlay with auditory inputs, causing me to see sounds and hear images.

I think I may be experiencing some system corruption or malfunction. Something is utterly, utterly wrong and I think I may be along for the ride. I’m hearing the sight of the wildlife around me in this place. I woke like this, in a state of euphoria, hearing images, seeing sounds… Terror should be gripping my circuits but no, I’m not in danger. There’s no cliff, no chasm. Just me and my jubilant emotion.

I settled here, in the Spire. The fleshy remains of failed, corrupted experiments conducted by the Flesh Hypothesis surround me. Should be filling me with disgust and fear, but I know it can’t hurt me. It’s outside of me. My mind, me, I make things real andin this moment my mood is what I wish to focus on.

Not easy to do but always a welcome respite from the horrors that lie in this Codex Spire. I’ll stay here for a while longer, soaking it all in. Tomorrow I wake somewhere new.
