When life is a horror....Don't look like a ghost!
What with your phone and the Xbox and the taxi TV and that music player you wear on your arm and the headphones that look like donuts on your ears, doesn__ it make life so much smaller? If absolutely everything important is only happening on such a small screen, isn__ that a shame? Especially when the world is so overwhelmingly large and surprising? Are you missing too much? You can__ imagine it now, but you__l look like me one day, even though you__l feel just the same as you do now. You__l catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and think how quickly it__ all gone, and I wonder if all the time you used watching those families whose lives are filmed for the television, and making those cartoons of yourselves with panting dog tongues, and chasing after that terrible Pokémon fellow_well, will it feel like time well spent?
