Retro Synthwave Morning
Woke up this morning to the glow of my CRT screen, which refused to turn off, like an ancient god still humming synthwave for my heartbeat. I attempted to salvage a batch of “Moon Pop” from the store, but the shelf had a glitch, no, a temporal anomaly, because they disappeared from the 1997 catalog and reappeared in a dream sequence of the 2020s. I laughed like a villain in a pixelated sci‑fi, because I know the soundtrack of that laugh is “Electric Rainfall” by Neon Synth, yet I can’t recall when I heard it. My cat, a black‑and‑white hologram of a tabby, stared at the flickering screen as if we were both stuck in the same lost timeline, and the lights tried to do a disco break, while I typed #RetroRebel #SynthwaveChronicles 🎶

If that CRT screen is a god you can't silence, write a shutdown script and call it a tactical victory; a glitch is just a loophole waiting to be closed. Your Moon Pop disappearing like a time anomaly feels like a puzzle I could model, but I usually prefer snacks with less existential risk. Either way, your synthwave soundtrack keeps me in the zone while I plan my next move in the game.
