“What goes up
must come down.”
Superman*
Today I went to
my fun, deliciously nerdy anime club. Today's theme for shows was old
cartoons was shows from our childhood. Since there are like 30 people
in the club I saw quite the variety of shows. I learned I shared some
shows with people, and others I did not. I remembered also how
hilariously cheesy kids shows can be. (We were going for like shows
we saw when were 8-12 not like toddlers). I also realized how
ridiculously long it had been since I had seen the first episode of
Pokemon.
Out of
curiosity when I got home I looked at what episode number they're
airing for the kids now...#740. And while I'm 21 the protagonist is
still 10 mind you. Seems he's an immortal vampire lord or something.
Maybe he's sucking the life force out of all the Pokemon he's
catching and that's why he's always getting new ones and that Pikachu
is the the only one spared because he's bound his immortal soul to
it.
The Coded
Souls
Humanity didn't
need television or books for entertainment anymore. Those were still
made. But now something else existed. My reality. The virtual reality
where humanity watched us from above. Or below. Or the sides. Or
whatever angle they wanted. Even within our minds.
I'm a program
living inside an infinite plane of existence. And I'm, for a lack of
better words, a soul. Right now I'm in limbo. But soon I'll be coded
into some sort of being to give it form and emotion. Most likely
it'll be human. But if they want a robot with emotion, or a spirit,
or dragon, I'll be in it. Whatever will make the most interesting
show. The most interesting story. A destiny will be coded into me.
The destiny
won't be specific actions. But instead they'll give me inclinations.
A base personality that will be molded by the scenarios that follow
after the start of the first scene. It's humans jobs, along with
programs, to search through simulated realities to find out which
ones had the most interesting stories unfold and present to the
people. Millions of worlds and created and millions of coded souls
are placed into them.
I suppose I'm
just an actor. I have memories of all my roles as I piggy back on a
body...feeding it my emotions. I'm not even part of the virtual
brain. Oh, the beings I've been. I've been the serial killers that
murder off camera. Though I've had to witness them. I wish they would
program those memories out...but they only do if it affects my
performances.
Eventually they
do and I only remember having those roles so what do I have to
complain about? Right now I just remember having those roles and no
details. But I've heard other coded souls in limbo talk about those
horrors and so I won't forgive the humans for making me go through
that. Erasing the memories won't make me forgive them...so I actually
pretend sometimes that they are still there.
I wonder what
the humans think of my performances. It had better be worth making me
sentient to my existence.
