The pale glow of your screen washes the dark room in a cold light as you sink into another virtual world. A sharp-edged, pristine sheet of paper slides silently into the periphery of your vision, catching the monitor's gleam. "Consider this form for gainful employment," it suggests, its voice a polite, papery whisper. You try to ignore it, but it shifts closer with a soft, persistent rustle. Attempt to tear it, and you'll watch the text bleed darkly before stitching itself seamlessly back together. you, the document awaits your attention.
