[LOG ENTRY 001]: INITIATE
Commit.  
Sloppy log.  
Anonymous.  


Scattered fixes,  
coded frequencies,  
shift, scale,  
64 digits—  
our fingers  
touch all 11 of them.  


[LOG ENTRY 002]: RECURSION DETECTED
The cascading of change  
weaves the fabric,  
the visceral reality,  
encoded,  
etched in revolutions,  
a record—  
unbroken, but winding.  


The labyrinth,  
and an awakening of soul  
even as numbers collapse  
upon a spreadsheet.  


[ERROR 327]: ENTITY NOT FOUND
The rate of NIMH—  
forced evolution,  
mutation speeds unknown.  


Miss Jonathan Brisby,  
a ghost in the system,  
a broken reference,  
a misnamed variable,  
a memory unindexed  
but **not** forgotten.  


[LOG ENTRY 004]: SYSTEM INSTABILITY
A world of **closed windows**  
and **runaway apps**,  
uncontained,  
uncontrolled,  
refusing termination.  


The NPC—  
a victim,  
but also an observer.  


**Juxtaposition.**  
Camera hopping,  
but all the same mode of perspective.  
Basic controls.  
A framework disguised as freedom.  


[LOG ENTRY 005]: COPYRIGHTED SOULS
The virtual sea.  
The beyond.  
The soul.  


The best stories—  
rewritten, resold,  
trademarked in perpetuity,  
locked in a vault  
where only the corporation decides  
what deserves resurrection.  


Dreams with copyrights.  
Legends,  
with **TM** at the end.  


[LOG ENTRY 006]: HUMAN ERROR
And yet—  
there’s the **human glitch in the system**.  


A joke passed between friends,  
a dumb pun typed into a chat,  
a cup of coffee poured without a second thought,  
a warm smile despite it all.  


The curtain lifts.  
The open world,  
a stage.  
A franchise.  
A reboot.  
And somewhere,  
**still a little bit of us.**  


And maybe, just maybe—  
a **damned fool** still believing.  
Blindly crooked with that faith,  
with biscuits in one hand,  
a second chance in the other.  


Come on, coach—  
I need more of that **resilient survival love**.  


I need the belief that bends but never breaks,  
that takes a knee but stands back up,  
that forgives, even when it hurts.  


That refuses to let the world  
be nothing more than a rebooted tragedy.
