Illusions101

When you look outside today, there are so many things that could lead to the end of the world that nothing surprises us anymore.

They say the world is heading to another ice age, we say okay, how low do we dig to hide. They say there's a hole in the ozone layer, and we're like, sure, which parts of the world do we need to avoid so we don't burn.

Nonody wants to fix it, and i don't blame them, it sounds like a drag. But what if they told you that everything you do is meaningless and you'll never be anything more than a slave.

What then, accept it and move on? Sounds fair, i mean, the easier the better, right? Yeah.

On October 3rd 20XX, every electronic device in every country of every continent recieved an alien signal that switched it to an unknown channel. It showed up on every screen on the planet and the world was introduced to the sight of a man in a black mask and hoodie.

For about 15 seconds, people thought it was a glitch on their phones or maybe an internet troll. That was until they finally raised their heads and looked at the tv screens, in their homes and through store windows. The channel couldn't be changed, and it felt like the world had stopped spinning. Everyone held their breaths waiting for this mystery man to speak...and so he did.

"For millennia, you humans believed you were the only exceptional creatures in existence, you thought God made you and only you to dominate this entire universe? ha, laughable. Aliens do exist but sadly, the same can't be said about God,"

He began to speak, softly but clearly. His voice was calm and collected and had certain charm to it. Like a billionaire addressing the little man.

"We've been in control of this world long before the pyramids. You see us every day but never realize it. We live among you, laugh with you, play with you, cry with you, we're exactly like you. But make no mistake, we are to be feared. The few who are only slightly suspicious of our existence call us illusions. I am illusion No.101." He continued.

"We exist here, but at the same time, we don't. You'll never find us if you searched but proof of our existence is everywhere, hence the name. Conspiracies spread all over the world have but one source, us.

Celebrities joining the Illuminati, the COVID-19 pandemic, satanic warships, 911s, The world wars, and unexplained deaths of government officials all over the world. Who do you think gave you the technology to create nukes or the idea of string theory? Einstein? please! We are everywhere

Everything we do affects the entire world, yet the blame always falls onto someone else. "it was the government, it was big pharma, it's cos he joined the Illuminati, it was the military,". He stopped and laughed out on screen, and dropped his head. He raises it again in a minute and exhales heavily, then continues.

"Wake up, people, you're living in the matrix. See, our mission here isn't to warn mankind or save it like anti-heroes, no. We're here for control, we want you as lambs, domesticated and stripped of free will. That's the true secret behind the growth of technology, one convenient tool at a time.

Yeah, bet you never wondered why smartphones keep getting smarter. You're so glued to your screens that you no longer care what's happening around you. You surrendered so quickly to the convenience of never having to think for yourselves that you should be embarrassed of your ignorance. But hey, it made my job easier so who am I to complain."

At this point, although we didn't know it, intelligence agencies all around the globe were having the worst day of the century.

Calls coming in and out, government officials losing their minds and everyone struggling to intercept the signal and shut everything down. Everyone was mad but no one knew how to stop it.

"Why am I telling you this now you ask? it's to prepare you for what's coming, I'm about to shake this world to its core. And for all you wannabe heroes who want me arrested, I bet you're just aching to find me so let's play a game. My name is Tyson Bourne,18 years old. I live alone in an apartment complex in Joburg and I'm currently an IT student, second year University. And I dare you to find me,"

That's how the broadcast of a boy who somehow literally hacked the entire world ended. This speech turned the world upside down, flooding social media platforms and breaking the internet.

Everyone wondered who was behind the black mask and how much of what he said was true.

Of course, this didn't even come close to preparing us for what was coming next. This was the beginning of something so much bigger than anyone could have ever imagined. A galactic revolution.
