The Addict II
As I stand before the mirror, a stranger stares back at me.
This obsession with cybernetics, it’s like a sickness. A manifestation of my struggles with self-worth, perhaps a reflection of the world we live in.
I know this, yet my gaze is drawn to the few parts of me that remain flesh and blood. I fantasize about a new lung to boost my stamina, calves for enhanced speed.
The boundary between my humanity and the machinery is blurring. I’m compelled by an urge to evolve, to transform.
