“Crossing the square became a surprise every day. I guess I’m not used to obstacles forcing me to detour or confront something anymore. “
“All my wearables went off-line – it seems I was in a Faraday cage of sorts. To see, and hear, even for a bit only what is there.. “
“Birds, I could hear birds – not specially find of them (I think). Without noise canceling there’s a lot of surprises. Also, tree leafs attracted me maybe due to green? Its kind of nice and odd, without an interpretation layer. And I met people – funny – randomly I mean – still unclear if it all was an act of sorts. “
“Loosing signal was intentional, and the objects messing with my directions are connected – no, I’m not crazy, I think, I asked it, at least twice: my patterns are inconclusive and I couldn’t be located for a while – I’m here, I think, don’t worry, probably.”
“I had zero logs inside the Faraday, followed stories, got myself dressing strange clothes (not unusual) interacted with people in what I think, and I hope, was just a play. OK, what just happened?”
