Day 003: Dream Catchers

Work was never 'boring'.

I never left work thinking ugh.

 

I never left work period.

 

That's the problem being a dream catcher, they all think that everyone only dreams while they are asleep. They are all wrong.

 

I hear every thought, by every person. Every moment. Every day.

 

Scanning, watching, waiting for someone to think something prohibited; you see after the rebellion of 3015 the government wanted to make sure no-one could start one again. So many deaths.

 

There's only one mind they couldn't read... mine.

 

They didn't know I had been slowly hacking into each server, one by one, slowly over the last ten years. Slight disruptions that only I could see. That I would notice.

 

And how did I know that I was the only one who noticed?

 

They pay me to make sure. Someone thinks it, I change it to a thought of rebellion and 'goodbye'.

 

Until I was ready to press the master button.

 

Then they would shut up for good.
