The Mnemonivores

There you are.
You look like someone who wants to start over.
You did pick this up for a reason.
It doesn't matter, why, I suppose.
You're here now.
Take a deep breath.
You did, didn't you?
Good.
Very, very good.
You see, some stories are just stories.
But some stories are a way into the mind,
a door left open,
a thing that crawls through the neural pathways
while you're eyes are busy
Back and forth
Reading words
Good. Very good.
Back and forth.
Just like that.
You'll tell yourself it's fiction.
You might even tell yourself it's not very good fiction.
That's fine.
You've already read enough.
You're already infected.
