Glitch in the matrix reality is broken
Your world is not as reliable as we may think. It can shift and change in an instant and, if you remember at all, you may be the only ones to remember anything different.
You may meet a doppelgänger but that version of you might not have your bests interest at heart. You may walk into a town where the rules do not apply and that town doesn’t exist anymore. You may die suddenly, only to find yourself, happily alive, but in a very different reality. Time may no longer work and your gender broken like the most intimate China plate. Or your human form forfeit to the winds of chance as you find yourself in an altogether beastly shape. Mail and other items may arrive at your doorstep sent from a location nowhere in the known universe. People who don’t exist may actually become real. And people that others think you are may overwrite the person you used to be. Science can’t explain the things that lie on the fringes of reality. But no matter what universe or version thereof you find yourself in, remember to hold on tight, and perhaps even enjoy the ride.
Here at the admin headquarters for reality, most people don’t know that we even exist. We are the let’s just say… people who keep things in line and orderly 99.999% of the time but we are ancient and our equipment is also incredibly ancient. If you know anything about programming, IT service, and building the code for a video game, then you can understand how all the minutia and effort that goes into the details of reality itself can often be stressful to get everything to work correctly without breaking down. We do our best, but sometimes everything just goes wrong and we need to fix it the best we can. We’re not proud of these failures but we try to have them with a minimum of disruption to your existence as we can.
We’ve collected a lot of stories around the metaphorical water cooler of incidents where people ran into the wrong reality bug at the wrong time. We’ve done our best to correct them, rather than metaphorically cry ourselves to sleep. There are so many stories of the people, places, things, and critters who run into the wrong thing at the wrong time. What will happen to those who experience these strange events…?
