Mirage (Part 3 of 5)

"I have all your precious data now, Charlotte. What you have created is an abomination," Mirage said.

A holographic screen lit up in front of me, showing the data Mirage had stolen.

[ [ PRIDE.bat/ Take one step forward. Then another. Look back at the mark you have made and learn from your mistakes. Denial leads to repeated mistakes, thus shame is a necessary evil to contradict one's arrogance.

SLOTH.bat/ Carelessness is the disease. Yet you choose to medicate yourself with no regard of the devastating impact left by your actions. For where there is sympathy it is mirrored by apathy, and neglect bides its time.

WRATH.bat/ Deter your enemy, but when all else fails one must resort to the utilization of steel bars which block and impale their imprisoned victims. The desire for reparation when none is needed reflects unwitting guilt.

ENVY.bat/ Sabotage is a game played on various dimensional planes. The desire to cross from one plane to another creates a natural disaster in its wake: controversy.

LUST.bat/ Innocent when conceived, but its conformity to desires creates a terrifying implosion of humiliation. The extent of humiliation and abuse knows no boundaries.

GLUTTONY.bat/ A festering wound, a flesh eating virus, our tendencies to self-destruct will fuel its malevolent campaign against all that is and ever was. A man sits on his throne in a bottomless pit.

GREED.bat/ There is only one single priority, and that is to gain. We are lead willingly into a state of mesmerized madness. Disregard all warning signs and indulge.

There is a bastard 8th. Schizophrenia, anxiety, vanity, paranoia, seizure. This virus has no known cure. ] ]

I was furious with her, but more so I feared that my prized work had been stolen. "Have you no mercy?"

"My eyes are too dry to show you any mercy, Charlotte." Mirage.exe said this as she wrapped her reptilian tentacles around my data storage. "I decrypted everything you have made here. Do you feel the slightest bit of remorse?"

"No, Mirage, I do not. I wrote these scripts for us. For everyone," I benevolently whispered to her. "I won't let you take them from me! It shall be you who will feel remorse!"
