They look fine on the outside, but inside they're all wrong. I can't remember when I first realised it, seems like I've always known that everyone else was a construct. They're all very convincing, very good at pretending to be real, but once you've caught a glimpse of it, you never forget it, start seeing it all over.

It's like a nothingness in the eyes, like you can see right through to the back, with no person in between.

I hated their eyes on me, felt as if they were ripping into me, taking parts of me away, making me more like them. I hid inside, only communicating with them when I had to through the phone or internet. But soon I could feel their eyes on me even when they weren't there, as if they were burning through the monitor somehow, travelling in binary. Eye open. Eye closed.
