learn from your mistakes. So if I mess up a lot, does that mean I'm
well educated? Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Psychic
Posting
In the world of
psychic virtual reality social networking had evolved beyond simply
posting messages on blogs or webpages or sending tweets on their
phones. People's minds could directly manipulate and enter virtual
space with simple helmets in this new world. So now they made little
virtual worlds for their friends to visit where they posted objects
that reflected their very minds.
For
non-psychics to completely understand these spaces would be difficult
to impossible without direct experience. Posting of the mind is
direct and pure. Something simple enough for a non-psychic to
understand would be a posting of pain. It's a strong, and when
perceived is a solid thing that becomes piecing, dominate and all
encompassing in the tangible space it touches. The sensation of hurt
becoming an object itself and processed by the mind that way.
This is the
simplest thing for a non-psychic. This specific example is one of an
intense pain. One of both emotional and physical. The moment in an
accident when you're leg is pinned and being crushed. Your bleeding
out and hopelessly calling out. You're mind is posting to some
virtual space, trying to reach someone, but even with the speed of
the post no one can reach you. The cries of pain outside the virtual
space will bring no one in time, so the emotional pain from knowing
your inevitable death it near also fills the space. This is an
example from the the life of one Mr. Sam Edwaen. Edwaen posted while
driving, distracting him from the dangers on the road.
