A screensaver, running.
Press nothing. Move nothing.
hold still.
this is a screensaver. you're not supposed to be watching it.
screensavers were made so a picture wouldn't burn into the glass. nobody needs them for that any more. they kept going anyway.
i think they're what a computer does instead of dreaming. it's left alone, so it goes somewhere.
most of them go to space. i don't know why. maybe it's the only place big enough to be left alone in.
when you move, it stops. it was waiting for you. it always was.
hold still a little longer.
there. now you're the one it's dreaming about.
