story

to be told as a chinese whisper game aka broken telephone in Croatian

A friend of mine has cheated on her husband.

She fell in love with a guy, and spent many evenings entangled with him.

The male has a slender body.

She kept telling her husband that she had to work late.

She was working on a very important project for her career.

Calculating an abstract expression of a hybrid gene.

She is developing a mongrel between a slug and a proteus.

In many colours.

That night, she was giving the mongrels hormone injections.

Her husband called to the lab, but she wasn't there.

He called her on her mobile.

She said that the lab ran out of Chlorine Neutralizer, so she had to work on a different site with one of the project-partners.

They were a big multinational dealing with cloning slugs for a large supermarket chain.

The supermarket specialised in ready Fusion meals.

This month, they were focusing on a French-Chinese cross-over - Dim-Sum Escargots in white wine sauce.

She was invited to speak on their conference in Beijing and she might have to leave tomorrow.

She will be gone for sure for 10 days.

Unfortunately, the partners have told her that the plane will leave from a military airport, so he can not wave her farewell.

A McDonalds Van with a slug on the roof, instead of a hamburger will collect her from a yet unknown street corner, and take her there.

Several months had passed.

My friend was kidnapped by terrorists and will be used as a human shield in a hunt for the last natural baby dragon, also called as proteus.

Or so said a foreign man who picked up my friend's cell phone. Her husband thought he was an impostor.

What happens to life in our embodied actual, when the object of our investigation becomes a virtual replicator?

What happens when a glitch in one person's reality starts weaving a fabric of inconsistencies that begin replication and tearing the interconnected reality apart?

What happens to life?

The virtuality that originated in a glitch (a lie in our case) starts unfolding on its own. In our story, as long as the fabricated world of lies allows the partners to maintain their conceptual balance, life continues.

As soon as the inconsistencies become apparent, the fragile fabric of auto-replicating inconsistencies rips beyond repair, and the relationship collapses.
