Breaking news
A whole generation taken over
An epidemic
Spreading fast
Like wildfire
No one is safe

Life is fleeting
Lifeless invading 
Having no direction
Consuming brains
Rotting brains

No connection with the outside world
Living through six inch scre-
Black
Time to PANIC
Running for life

Grabbing the white plug
Waiting for the bar to fill
I look up
Seeing others like me buried in their devices...
