(🎧 Audio Version) The Prison of Speed: What is Freedom?

[📖 Prefer reading? Here's the story in script format.] ⬇


(Scene: YOU are speeding down an Endless Slope.)


You:

There is no use. This is never going to stop.


It was thrilling at first, but now? Now I’m trapped.


There’s no end. Just this endless fall, this bottomless descent.


If I stop, I’ll fall and lose my bike. And then what? Walk? No. I’d be stuck even longer.


But I can’t keep going like this. I’m losing focus. No one can stay sharp forever.


This isn’t freedom anymore. This is a Prison of Speed!


How on earth can I end all this?

A man rides a bike on a surreal, curving road with dynamic lines and a greenish hue, creating a sense of movement and wonder.
"This isn’t freedom anymore."
