Mannikins

I’m at LAX waiting at the gate.

Lately I can’t stop thinking about how similar life is to a video game.

There’s obstacles, achievements, and sometimes what even seem like different ‘stages’ or ‘levels’.

But even crazier is the idea of NPC’s. Non player characters - people completely mesmerized by what’s in front of them and in their head.

I look around and can almost see just by people’s pupils who is alive and awake and aware they’re in a ‘game’ and who’s asleep, mannikins, no idea they can pick up the controller and make life more fun at any time.
