For a second, I didn't see my reflection. I saw the labyrinth, and I saw the Cursor—blinking, waiting for me to move the mouse.

I tried to Alt+F4. The screen turned a deep, bruised purple. A text box appeared at the bottom: MEMORY LEAK DETECTED. ALLOCATING PHYSICAL SPACE.

My desk lamp flickered. A thin trail of black, ink-like smoke began to curl out of my PC’s cooling vents. On the screen, the second Cursor had reached mine. They merged, and the monitor turned into a perfect, dark mirror.

As I reached the center of the "map," the music—a haunting, slowed-down version of a dial-up handshake—cut out. A second sprite appeared. It was a mirror image of my Cursor, but it moved only when I didn't.

When I ran it, the monitor didn’t just flicker; it buckled. The scanlines became physical ridges on the screen. The Bit-Rot World
