      be me

      average 4chan user

      love reading and sharing greentext stories

      take screenshots of the best ones to save for later

      notice one day that a screenshot seems slightly tilted

      think it’s just my imagination

      days pass, more screenshots seem off

      angles get worse, barely noticeable but there

      try rotating my phone, doesn’t help

      open screenshots on my computer, same issue

      post about it on /x/, get mocked and called a noob

      start getting obsessed, spend hours comparing, measuring angles

      losing sleep, seeing the tilt in my dreams

      one morning, wake up, entire room looks tilted

      try to walk, stumble and fall

      look out the window, world looks upside down

      panic, try to grab onto something stable

      mother staring at me like I’m crazy

      feel like I’m in a nightmare

      lock the door

      look at my screenshots, they’re completely upside down

      see my reflection in the monitor, it’s me but inverted

      can’t take it anymore

      scream, try to shut down the computer

      power button doesn’t work, can’t unplug it

      everything in my apartment starts spinning

      fall to the floor, clutching my head

      world fades to black

      wake up in a padded white room

      see a pen in front of me

      draw greentext arrows on the walls, but they all look tilted
