Paranoid-doomsday: Part 1

The lights in the room had changed and this made him very nervous.
It was his room but the lighting wasn't.
Things felt strange.
The neighborhood had grown quiet since the curfew.
The internet was the only thing that appeared to work.

Contact with the outside real-world was virtually virtual.

But then, who could trust the world-web in these circumstances?

He walked up to the door.
Things did not seem as crazy as he imagined them to be but then he was paranoid - Schizophrenic even.

How could he trust anything?
Maybe there was no curfew.

But then the place did seem dead silent.

By now he had become temporally disoriented. How much time had passed?
How long had he been in this house?
He took another of the pills that the good doctor had given him.
He trusted her. She had pretty hair and honest eyes.
She was the only one he trusted.

There were definitely no other people in the house.
Perhaps they had been held up somewhere else in the curfew.
Perhaps they were dead, or worse, non-existent.
It bothered him that he could not remember.
He felt lost - perennially lost.
He perennially felt lost.

But then again, he tended to hear voices.
One could not be sure in such circumstances.

He logged on to the news and was ironically reassured that a curfew was indeed being enforced.
As he read further he realized that the world was under attack by some alien life forms which had taken over the internet.
There were nano-bots in the air and they were potentially taking over everything.

So the internet was infected!!!
Hmmm...

How could he trust what he was reading then?

Could it be that his perception had been altered as well?
After all, organisms that could infect the nanobots and the internet could easily infect neural networks in the human brain.

Has it always been like this?
He wondered a lot to himself.
He wondered a lot about himself.
The dialogs within his head had slight variations of different flavors and themes.
He was relentlessly unsure of everything.

But then the time has come to reveal what is really going on here.

Who knows?
