Falling Down the Hole #2

Writing Project

The dim light of his apartment permeated into his awakening dreamscape. Ethereal, the realm was full of the faces of unknown figures, and lands racing forward and past. Thomas walked by like the rest of the nameless entities. Something had possessed them all, a new curiosity that stood higher than previous questions of where his life could lead. Beside the masses in their shambling march, he found himself stood at a blinking, blank white webpage the size of a cinema screen. At the very centre of this grand screen, the initials of SLN bore into his vision like a drill.

Entrance to the Rabbit-hole #1

Writing Project

Tom collected his breath and pinched the crust out of his eyelids. There was a new notification. His eyes narrowed at the header, an article from his subscribed news outlet had been published, 04:39, a minute before he activated his laptop.
The news outlet was called SLN, a network focused within his home country. Tom inspected SLN's homepage and spied that the article he was notified about was not visible. Out of curiosity, he clicked on the notification itself, the link took him to a blank, white page. It seemed the hum of his laptop rose a dulling octave higher.
