5. Content

Without warning, I felt an intense pressure inside my head, as if my brain had just exploded. The world around me twisted and warped, my whole reality turning into a myriad of colors and abstract shapes. Sounds became distorted, echoing in my ears like ghostly whispers from another realm. I could hear Kallom-4000 calling my name, but even inside my head it sounded muffled and distant. I fell on my knees, in frenzy, and saw when the ground under me seemed to pulse and sway. My vision was filled with strange, fragmented images—shadowy figures, abstract patterns, places I had never been, and memories that were not mine.

“What is happening to me?” I managed to scream.

Schizophrenic frenzy enveloped me whole. Then all of a sudden I was not anymore in the fourth level, but somewhere else—a place I had never seen before! There… There was water… Yellow water. Mountains, enormous mountains. All mixed with shapes, and sounds, and feelings, and emotions, and down, and up, and left, and right, and words. What is this? I saw realms of unfathomable proportions, creatures of nonsensical natures, dimensions beyond numbers, logic that should not be. Flashes of countless realities blazed before my eyes, each a fragmentary glimpse into a life not my own. In one moment, I was a soldier braving the horrors of war; in the next, a mother cradling her newborn child; then, an artist painting a masterpiece, and then, a pauper on the streets, begging for food. Most, though, were so alien that no words would suffice, lives of gods and demons that would dwarf the comprehension of even syrakis. My mind popped in and out of different realities in a frenzy. It was as though I was living myriad lifetimes in mere seconds, fleeting existences but that yet marked me deeply because they felt my own. The sheer pace was disorienting, every transition jarring, every emotion raw and intense. These transient visions of countless lives cascaded over my insanity, overwhelming my senses. I saw entire realities crossing my eyes like the flow of a river, worlds beyond comprehension.

“Mr. Mike!” I heard Kallom-4000’s voice somewhere so far beyond, lost in ontological void. “You are suffering a decohesion! Don’t worry, I am trying to compensate. Hold tight!”

His voice faded to a whisper, a distant echo in the chasm of despair that yawned open beneath me. My most profound fears enveloped me whole as I faced something that should not be, the very fabric of reality warping and twisting as I descended further and further into ‘pataphysical craziness.

“KALLOM-4000,” I opened my eyes wide as a man about to fall into hell. “HELP! HELP!”

Then, all of a sudden… silence. The most profound silence I had ever heard in my life.
