6.07.25: The Feed

They say you can’t survive more than four days without the Feed. Some guy tried last year. Cut his neural port out with a kitchen knife. Made it two and a half days before the tremors started. His eyes turned inward like he was watching something that wasn’t there. They said it was withdrawal, like unplugging from the only thing holding your mind together. I wonder if it’s true. Or if the fear is the leash. I’ve thought about trying it, just to see if my thoughts are still mine. But thinking that is probably already flagged. It always is.
