I just ate a bowl of Life cereal. Sweet sugar crystals in a wholesome lattice. Every crunchy piece of Life is a microchip with its own program.

Shake the plastic bag. That sound is the rustling of permutation.

A mysterious energy source possesses me. I consume and obey, fuelled by alien intelligence. My human brain grows soggy through lack of use.

Soon it will be sucked out my ears through a straw. No one will know the difference.

Under fluorescent light, bright colours on the Save-Easy shelf.

Life cereal. You are what you eat. Although if they made Death cereal I would probably buy it.

Naturally it would come in a black box.

The packaging would double as a black-box recorder, so that afterwards you could play it back and figure out what the fuck went wrong.
