Ding! 1 Unread Message.
Icons counting higher, higher. 1-2-3-4-5-6
Still counting onward…
Torment. Torture. Ding. D-DING. DING! DING!!!
Red numbers. Growing. Growing
Always on. Always present.
Connection binds like chains.
Tight, suffocating, crushing
Impossible to stop. The noise surrounds
Omnipresent. Relentless. Droning on – on – on.
No escape. No peace.
