By an accident, my cellphone screen was shattered. It was not completely shattered. It just left a dark line on the screen that was expanding over time, and was once has the momentum to capture my entire screen. The images on the phone seem to be more real, the reality and the visions started converging from inside out and attempting to encroach on my horizon. I gradually began to feel those non-daily existence in my life, rather than feel, I was deliberately looking for them.
I began to look forward to the weirdness of this world. Suddenly I understood why there were so many conspiracy theories in the world. We were longing for daily chaos and looking forward to proving that it was dangerous beneath this peaceful looking world. That black line may not just a small screen crack, but a clue of this real crazy world that began to collapse from a calm mask.
