Chapter II: The Doctor
lyrics
What is your reality but a feeble memory,
physically rewritten, each time it is recalled?
Even their brightest minds were nothing more
than an elaborate process of chemistry.
Evolved interpretations of basic neurotransmitters;
externally manipulated.
The guilt of loss was growing.
Sinking further into isolation, the declining mind drowning
in its own interpretations of a partially perceived reality.
The oxytocin withdrawal leaves vacant receptors
only replenished by self-medication.
Such an over correction to the organic mechanisms
leaves an irreversible imbalance.
Self-experimentation, mycelial integration,
genetic mutation; successful regeneration.
What have you done?!
[Just in: An unknown lifeform has been reported, spreading throughout Sector 3. Please avoid all physical contact. Remain indoors. It appears to be spreading through spores in the air. If contact has been made, immediate isolation is required. The Inner City Council has closed all sector storm gates. Please report to designated quarantine zones. Panicked citizens are crowding the storm gates. It has spread to the City Core. Council members have been exposed. This is the automated emergency messaging system. Please remain calm. Thank you for your cooperation.]
Humanity’s apperception; a futile illusion.
Misguided dreams of significance had pushed them far,
but the physical world remains indifferent.
As nature runs its course again,
a new life will be born through their demise.
With pride he stood alone, his arrogance became his throne.
A kingdom to call his own. The delusions became his only home.
What is your reality but a feeble memory?
