i’m afraid
i have some bad news
sir
the scans are back
and your brain
well
we don’t like
to use the word
but
your brain
it’s not normal
sir
also your eyes
and optic nerve
they
they all seem to have
been reconfigured
sir
reconfigured
in line with new
priorities
reshaped specifically
it appears
for focus
focus on a rectangle
roughly nine by sixteen
in ratio
positioned
in front of your
face
positioned
just about here
sir
it’s not that you can’t
pay attention
elsewhere
it’s just that
you probably
won’t
the good news is
your rectangle can
rotate
it can do portrait
and landscape
both
so it won’t always
be exactly
the same
what’s that?
you ask if there’s a cure
sir?
well, yes
yes, there is a cure
sir
but
you’re not going to like it
