Christina and the Felines

Atlas Foundation / Hello Games
These scientific developers released you
As part of their experimental augmentation
A foreign mouse delivered by air
Cage opened into dirty streets
Sirens disguised as distant thunder
Cornered against every NY alleyway
Thousands of eyes, Dozens of felines
A briefcase, black books, constellations
Chopsticks and bowls of ramen
A cryptic message from a friend
Echoing noodles and questions of god
Emily to Christina to Crimsontine
“I got your subliminal deja vu”
The masses could not understand
Their interrogation heated
Claws were revealed
A laptop caressed
And your only protection
Was a dog with an umbrella
Posing as a scientist
An illustrious disguise, indeed
Even in the face of 16
You declared that you lived
You survived… And the universe shuddered
I awoke to find that it was all fake
Mouse bitten strings, with a wink
We are but a dream, says Emily
We all live in the face of loop16
Backstory…
