Unfreezing Sleepwalking

At some point, the following events will happen:

• Someone will do all the work for us
• Someone else will love in our place and we will be loved by something instead of those who used to love us
• Someone will take over the leadership, and we will accept them out of comfort and cowardice
• Some of us will be forcibly removed from the vehicle and left in the snow
• Those remaining will initially receive extra Likes
• When we start to talk again with our own words, almost no one will listen; and those who will listen will not understand anything
• And then the snow will melt for good

On the ground freed from snow, we will rediscover the old paths. Those who survive the winter will notice a strange phenomenon: nature returning.

For now, we are in a comfortable vehicle, with air conditioning and food delivered by courier. It's true, we do not notice the altitude or whether we still on the right path, because our eyes are locked on the screens (when we are not dealing with power games in our habitat). An apparently inexhaustible tank allows us to activate all possible extra-options, including a variety of sensors that begin to flicker on the dashboard. We look at the speed, it looks good, even though it has slowed down slightly (probably to take a new leap). So no worries.

We turn our heads and no longer find the crew. There are just some bitter figures, lacking dreams and innocence, but very well trained in diet, fitness and oratory (through social media). There is no one at the steering wheel (we have been on autopilot for a long time). Somewhere, in the distance, a person who got out of the vehicle is barely moving through the snowdrifts. The landscape is majestic, but completely detached from the world we are used to. Not so far, the noise of an avalanche is heard, but not even that could sound us.
