Better the Cacodemon you know
The doomscroll is an undying beast we feed within ourselves. It floats a little behind you, drifting closer whenever you look away. It never asks for much, just one more swipe to keep the algorithm alive.
Every scroll made it bigger, it fed on my curiosity and fed me boredom. All the excitement and adrenaline from finding a cool new thing was gone. I try to keep my distance, and sometimes I do well.
I read what I need for a bit, and I go outside and touch grass. But my phone is always in my pocket.
...He's right behind me, isn't he?
