Imagine going to sleep one night, closing your eyes, opening the next morning, and seeing the equivalent of television static.

There is no pattern to anything. One second your pillow is your pillow. The next, it's a 4-leaf clover.

A 🧵 on composition, science, life, wealth, etc The next, it's a W-2 from a job you had 3 years ago.

Everything is changing color, shape, size at random intervals.

Even you. The electrical signal you used to send to your limbs to move them no longer works. They move on their own. They stop on their own.
