Cloudless

For about an hour, he was disconnected from the Cloud.

Just an issue with the connection, his implant told him, trying to keep him calm, but despite its efforts, he saw things as they were, for perhaps the first time in his life. He saw the state of the world around him, without the voices in his head to keep him company, to keep him updated, to make sure he was entertained and distracted.

For about an hour, he was alone.

It was a horrible hour, once he was reconnected to the cloud and realised that it had been horrible.

Served Cold

The sentiment that revenge is a dish best served cold is interesting, as it’s basically a lie. Or at least, a manipulation.

Those in power, up there in the gold and ivory, they don’t want the lower classes killing themselves over petty slights, we’re no longer useful to most of them in prison, and to even less of them dead. So they let this concept of revenge requires time, and they assume most of us will move on, forget about it, let alone take revenge on them.

And I do agree, actually. Except in your case.

Thus my stabbing you.
