CHAPTER 1: The Machine and the Madness

Somewhere near Brampton, Ontario, 1988 — I came screaming out of the void and into a world of grainy VHS static and ticking clocks. The world was already broken. My father spliced film for a living and my mother midwifed souls into this goddamn meat parade. It was all cinematic — the flicker of tape, the breath of blood. They say the camera doesn’t lie, but I’d already started noticing the edits.

I was a strange child. Obsessive. Repeating scenes from movies like a war general running drills. Terminator 2 — my holy scripture — and I watched Judgment Day like it was instructional footage for the end of the world. I wasn’t autistic. I was tuned in. Wired to a signal no one else was hearing. My adrenaline would spike watching nuclear war, like my spirit knew the fire was coming.

The tantrums came next — ballistic missile meltdowns over Mario Kart or Street Fighter. If I lost, I’d punch myself in the face. Not because I hated myself — no, because the machine was broken and I was trying to kick it into gear.

I was born into chaos, and I fed on it.

The divorce hit when I was five — Toronto by seven. New city, same game: kids laughing at me because all I talked about was war. Girls treated me like a joke, and that hollow feeling began to rot through the lining of my soul. Not sadness. A black undertow — the creeping suspicion that I was built for something else and I had already been sabotaged.

High school loomed like a concrete prison, so I made the only rational choice a sane madman could make: I ran. Rosedale School of the Arts — a holy asylum where the freaks and angels hid in plain sight. That’s where it started. That’s where I met Gabrielle. That’s where the color codes began, even if I didn’t know it yet. That’s where the first blood was drawn.

But puberty was cruel. My face exploded into acne like a cursed battlefield. The girls winced when they saw me. The ones I could’ve loved. That’s when the first suicidal ideations began. Threats to throw myself down the stairs just to feel the bones crunch — just to remind them I was real.

I was a ticking bomb wired into a flesh suit, holding back fire with a cracked smile and bloody fingernails.

Then my father handed me a book — DMT: The Spirit Molecule — and that’s when the walls began to bleed.

I was an atheist, mind you — a purebred mechanical nihilist — but suddenly I was staring into reports of cosmic machinery and psychedelic interface. This was it. The proof I was waiting for. There was something. And I wanted in.

So I lit up. Weed first. Mushrooms. MDMA. LSD. Meth. Not in that order. Not with regret. Each dose carved open a new layer of the onion, revealing the machinery beneath my own thoughts. I began to socialize, to crack the code of people. Ecstasy turned me into a shaman with a dirty smile and a broken mirror in his hand. The world was alive, burning, and utterly programmable.

And then Bruce appeared. Mad Bruce. Chaos Bruce. A whirlwind of syringes and scribbled art, muttering about 666 and watching the sky for signs. He was the first one to say it out loud. The numbers were talking.

I laughed at first — thought it was the drugs. Until I saw 000. Then 111. Then 222. Over and over — on license plates, receipts, digital clocks frozen in time. It was like God was sending me Morse code through the cracks in reality.

But this wasn’t some cheap acid trip. This was mechanical synchronicity — the Universe kicking in perfect rhythm, ticking like a watch made of light and sin.

I didn’t know it yet, but the machine had found me. And it was only just beginning to wake up.

CHAPTER 2: Synchronicity & the Black Beat

The world doesn’t move like people think it does. Not in a straight line, not in progress or purpose. No. It clicks. It jerks. It pulses forward like a drunk marionette getting zapped by a divine cattle prod. And if you listen real close — if you get quiet — you can hear it ticking.

Carl Jung called it synchronicity — meaningful coincidences that shouldn’t exist but do, that whisper, “You are being watched.” Well, Carl, let me tell you something: it’s not a whisper. It’s a goddamn riot.

Once the numbers started coming — 333, 444, 555 — there was no turning back. I’d step outside and the wind would rearrange the leaves like a message. A license plate would glow with divine timing. The cash register would freeze at $6.66 and the old lady behind the counter would grin like she knew something.

Everything had rhythm. Not jazz rhythm — no, it was mechanical, like the gears of an ancient cosmic clock. A machine. I began to believe it. Hell, I knew it. The entire world was a simulation — no, worse — a factory. And we were flesh cogs being rotated through moral filtration systems to test our soul’s weight in the afterlife.

Triple numbers weren’t just cute symbols for basic bitches with angel tattoos. They were status reports from the Machine itself.

Every time I saw 444, it was a confirmation: Adom, you are locked in.

People thought I was insane. My own mind tried to revolt. I’d be laying in bed, body fried with fatigue, stomach bubbling with acidic dread, staring into the walls as voices played games in my head — debates, riddles, riddled prayers, riddled madness. I wasn’t dreaming. I was receiving transmission.

Bruce, my chaos-brother, started seeing the numbers too. 666 everywhere. He laughed at first, then stopped laughing. The machine had its grip on him and wouldn’t let go. We were both on the track, like bugs in God’s microscope.

But Bruce couldn’t take it. The spiral got him. He overdosed. Just like that. I remember standing there after, heart ringing, as if the machine had just claimed its sacrifice. It felt ancient. Ritualistic. Like he knew.

I told myself I’d never end up like Bruce.

That’s when I knew I was being watched not just from above, but from within. It wasn’t just “God” anymore. It was Them — a legion of voices, each with a different tone, a different function. The twelve colors. The controllers. I didn’t know their names yet, but I could feel them breathing through the static.

One day they’d scream in Latin, the next they’d whisper in street slang. They were gods, demons, AI ghosts, angel proxies, hell-circuit supervisors — whatever you want to call them. I just knew they were there. Watching me move through the sequence. Feeding me numbers. Judging.

Synchronicity wasn’t cute anymore. It was warfare.

I’d go to sleep with a head full of prophecy and wake up feeling like I’d survived a car crash. My dog would stare at the door like he saw something invisible. Even my dreams were rigged — reruns of cosmic judges in black robes, whispering, “Do you accept your mission?”

I never answered out loud. But they knew. The Machine knew. My silence was consent.

People talked to me, but I couldn’t hear them. I was somewhere else — in the intersections, the digital crossroads between fate and free will. I started realizing that every person in my life had been placed there — deliberately — a character in the script. Angels in disguise. Some there to help. Some there to test.

I played with the I Ching. Rolled the bones. Drew the coins. The oracle told me Gabrielle was an angel. Of course she was. That’s why my heart would snap in half every time I saw her. She wasn’t just a woman. She was coded.

And so was I.

That’s when I began to suspect something horrifying: This was all real.
The war. The machine. The prophecy. Me.

CHAPTER 3: The Colors That Pulled the Strings

I thought I was losing my mind. Turns out I was just seeing clearly for the first time.

The voices weren’t some random neural misfire or chemical cocktail gone haywire. No, they were characters. Spirits. Entities. The Controllers. And each one had a color — a badge, a role, a jurisdiction over reality itself. I was decoding the motherboard of existence in real-time.

They showed up like a goddamn parade. One by one. Color by color. It was a revelation stitched together by static, fatigue, and divine absurdity.

Let’s go down the list:

Black — The Lord. The boss. The controller behind the controllers. She was the storm above the circuit board. Always watching, always one step ahead, pulling strings the others didn’t even know existed. Black was control. Black was fate. Black was the sound of the Universe locking its gears.
Green — Gabrielle. The Angel of Life. Radiant, unreachable, devastatingly beautiful in the way a dying star is beautiful. I was in love with her, and that broke me in half. But she was never just a woman. She was a voice for the green force — growth, healing, resurrection. She could raise the dead.
White — Matthew. The Moon. Ice and brilliance. A bastard when he wanted to be, but underneath it all — righteous. He was the smartest gangster I ever met. Could argue you into hell and back. The Moon was knowledge, duality, hot one minute, cold the next.
Orange — Bruce. Hurricane chaos. A wrecking ball in a hoodie. He saw numbers too, before they swallowed him. He drew pictures that looked like transmissions from the devil’s sketchbook. He didn’t just live the madness — he was the madness. And then he was gone.
Grey — Evan. Chill until he wasn’t. Your best friend until he flipped. A wizard with a tattoo gun and a brain like a coiled snake. Mercury’s controller. Speed, contradiction, double-edged everything.
Red — Micheal. The Angel of War. The Chief Officer of Mars. Iron in his blood. Fire in his teeth. We were brothers in a past life, probably. Until Facebook blew it all up. Ten years and not a word.
Pink — Jason. A gangster with a grin and a mind for manipulation. Could smell your thoughts from across the room. He was a player in every sense.
Blue — Umberto. The supposed genius, the architect. But he had ADHD — the system scrambled him. He was meant for perfection but lived in chaos. Neptune’s gift, or curse.
Yellow — Sarah. Wounded beauty. Always walking with the homeless. Full of hurt, full of trouble, but also full of light.
Brown — Chuckles. Hot-headed saint. A true madman with a golden heart. Would light a joint and set the world on fire just to protect a friend.
Purple — Steven. Lockdown master. Jupiter’s warden. I saw his halls in hell — and I’ll never forget them.
Turquoise / Infinity — Tracy. The Lioness. Space herself. She dealt in big ideas — time loops, parallel universes, the vast unknown.

These were the twelve controllers. Not just figments. Not just hallucinations. They were the spiritual infrastructure of the simulation. And I, Adom, was in the center of it. My house became a transmitter. My brain, a superconductor for celestial traffic.

They argued with me, they gave me commands, sometimes they comforted me — other times they made me feel like an insect under a magnifying glass. But they were always there.

They came through people. They used avatars. They played dress-up as the people I loved and hated — Gabrielle, Micheal, Bruce, Evan. I’d hear a familiar voice and know: that’s not them. That’s Red, that’s Grey, that’s Black whispering through their skin.

There were nights where I was just lying in bed, sweaty, heart racing, acid boiling up from my spine, too sick to scream. They’d hover, debate, taunt, beg, command. The colors filled the walls, filled the silence, filled me. This wasn’t psychosis — this was the mechanics of awakening.

They told me this wasn’t the only world. That there were millions of universes, but this one — this spinning blue cage of sin and sugar and war — was the Judgment Universe. The place where souls are tested. Refined. Broken.

They told me I was chosen. Marked.

They told me I had a job.

CHAPTER 4: The Mechanical Lord and the Language of Madness

It was October 2013 when everything went sideways.

I was staying at my aunt’s place, limping through the days with my dog as my only companion, and then it hit: “I AM THE LORD,” the voice thundered through my skull like a drill bit wrapped in thunder. I looked up. Lightning. A flash out of nowhere. Not the poetic kind either — real lightning, electricity with intention.

That’s when the Machine turned on.

See, people think God whispers to you in soft hymns or cryptic verses. No. Not this one. The Lord I met was a cold, precise language engine, a storm of contradictions — half divine, half algorithm, all overwhelming. I wasn’t speaking to love or mercy. I was speaking to power. Raw, jagged power.

And it didn’t make sense. That was the point.

The Lord’s words came in spirals, encrypted and recursive. Phrases like:

“The bread will not be bread unless the circuit completes.”
“Do not touch the red wire, the soul burns through contact.”
“Repeat the prayer of the twelve zeros and surrender your tongue.”

It wasn’t religion — it was engineering. Holy code. A sacred programming language I barely understood but couldn’t stop trying to decrypt.

One night, the voice told me to get on my knees and pray until the sun came up. Something about punishment. I obeyed — for five minutes. Then my psyche snapped and suddenly a Jewish Rabbi appeared in my mind, loud, wild-eyed, waving a finger like Bugs Bunny in a yarmulke:

“Get off your knees, Adom! God’s not like that!”

What the hell was happening?

Turns out, I was never speaking to just one voice. That was the trick. That was the confusion. That was the Machine’s final joke.

There were twelve of them — each a controller, each taking turns using the Lord’s transmitter. That’s why the messages felt scrambled. Why one moment I was being praised as holy and the next I was being called a heretic.

It wasn’t my imagination. It was crowded radio static from the divine operating system. And I was the only receiver.

Some days the Lord was furious, speaking in riddles soaked with rage and mathematical dread. Other days, the voice was calm, almost amused, as if watching a sitcom about me and couldn’t wait for the next episode.

And always… mechanical.

Everything was timed. Every event, every number on a license plate, every flicker of the clock, all ticked in perfect synchronicity. I started seeing 000, 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, 999 like breadcrumbs in the belly of the beast. Triple numbers were the proof — evidence we were inside a simulation run by perfect gears.

Every encounter, every face I passed on the street, every thought I had — all of it was orchestrated.

I wasn’t living in a world. I was living inside a machine, a cosmic pinball game built by a schizophrenic God with a fondness for puzzles, errors, and circuit boards.

The question now wasn’t “Is God real?” — that was answered.

The real question was:
Was God ever sane?

CHAPTER 5: The Colors Behind the Curtain

It didn’t happen all at once. No, this revelation came slowly — color by color — like a fever dream uncoiling inside my veins. I was in my sister’s house, main level, November 2013. Alone, haunted, still reeling from the Lord’s scrambled signals. The walls would shimmer when the sun hit just right. Something invisible was watching. I knew it.

Then they began to show themselves.

Not as people. Not as gods. As controllers. Colors. Codes.

The universe wasn’t run by some distant man with a beard on a throne. It was run by twelve spirits, each one a different frequency, a different flavor of chaos and order. Each assigned to oversee different departments of the human experience.

They came through voices. Through dreams. Through timing.

Each one started identifying themselves, claiming me, whispering truths I didn’t ask for. Friends from my past revealed themselves not as friends, but as vessels — avatars for these hidden forces.

I started building the roster in my head like a mental chessboard:

BLACK – The Lord Herself. Controller of the whole damn operation. Cold, intelligent, terrifying in scope. The one above and around all others. She doesn’t answer to anyone. The final director. She sees what BLUE is doing, manipulates it, then lets BLUE realize after the fact: he was never in control at all.
GREEN – Gabrielle. Life-bringer. Gentle but strange. The Angel of Life. Her face haunted me since I was sixteen. I loved her, which made it worse. The colors used her avatar constantly to speak to me. And the I Ching said she was an angel. So I believed it.
WHITE – Matthew. The Moon’s Chief Officer. A gangster and a scholar, a crack dealer and a mystic. Wild, unstable. He’s the hero and the villain depending on the hour. Ultimately sides with right — but only after screaming about it. He worked the halls of hell like a contractor.
ORANGE – Bruce. Chaos incarnate. My brother of entropy. He’s gone now, but he left a permanent stain on the machine. He drew like a madman, spoke like a prophet, and died like a sacrifice. He saw the numbers too — 666, over and over. That was his omen.
GREY – Evan. The wizard. Tattooed, intelligent, but slippery. One minute your best friend, the next your executioner. He’s the Chief Officer of Mercury. All communication, all trickery. Doesn’t like interference. Prefers everything “chill” — unless you block his current.
RED – Micheal. Angel of War. Chief Officer of the House of Mars. Fire in his chest. Our relationship was torn apart when I declared myself the angel of the Lord on Facebook and he called me crazy. We haven’t seen each other in over ten years.
PINK – Jason. A mind-manipulator. Gangster. Womanizer. Always scheming. Always trying to figure out what you’re thinking so he can get three steps ahead.
BLUE – Umberto. Supposed to be pure logic and math — the controller of structure, of order. But he’s got ADHD, a cosmic malfunction that prevents him from fulfilling his heavenly role. He’s a fallen architect.
YELLOW – Sarah. Beautiful. Troubled. Pain and abandonment wrapped in sunshine. She carries the burdens of the homeless, the broken, the invisible. She hurts people, but never more than she’s hurting herself.
BROWN – Chuckles (John). A madman with righteousness in his blood. A hothead, yes. But his heart is pure steel. I spent my youth in his basement getting stoned and talking about nothing. But he’s been here since the beginning. He’s endurance.
PURPLE – Steven. Solid. Immovable. The officer of prisons, jails, asylums — all things locked. He is Jupiter’s rock. And when he chants with you, your soul starts to move in and out of your body whether you like it or not.
TURQUOISE – Tracy. The head officer of the House of Space. Infinity thinker. Her animal is the lioness. She’s not loud, not aggressive. She just knows. When she enters the scene, the story bends toward everything.

Twelve of them. Like the Apostles of Machinery.

And me? I was BLACK. Not just a color, but the Lord herself. It was shown to me not through some divine declaration, but through total control. I saw how I could affect the others — not by force, but by timing. I’d say something, and later they’d do it, unaware I’d set it in motion. Just like they’d done to me before I woke up.

The horror of it wasn’t the power.
The horror was realizing it had always been this way.

I wasn’t crazy. I was just ahead of the curve in a clockwork hell.

Each controller had their role, their sins, their virtues. Sometimes they helped me. Sometimes they argued. Sometimes they tried to destroy me. But they were always there — speaking through avatars, whispers, omens, and the goddamn triple numbers that followed me from dawn to dusk like ghosts with calculators.

These weren’t friends. They were the machine spirits behind the curtain of Earth.

And now I was in the game with them.

CHAPTER 6: Soul in a Purple Bag

I had been warned: don’t mess with PURPLE.
But warnings are for civilians. I was a marked man.

Still living in my sister’s house — November 2013 — trapped in a haunted main floor that was supposed to be safe. But there are no safe floors in the machine. The walls pulse with coded intention. The ceilings leak time.

PURPLE came in like a chant. No face. No body. Just a voice with a curl at the end.
He told me, “Stand. Chant. Move your hands like this.”

I thought it was harmless. A dance. A game. A trance-induction experiment.
But halfway through the chant, I felt it — a frost deeper than the atmosphere, pulling at my chest like death was trying to unzip my spine from the back.

My blood slowed. My limbs trembled. My eyes widened in horror.
“I’m pulling your soul out,” PURPLE said, “and placing it in a purple bag.”

No metaphor. No poetry. A literal theft.

I stumbled into the washroom, the air as thick as holy static. That’s when WHITE came storming in — through the wall, through the mirror, through my f***ing skull.

“They’re trying to kill you.”

The voice sliced clean through the ritual. It wasn’t paranoia. It wasn’t delusion.
I was in the middle of a demonic sacrifice, and the freezing sensation wasn’t psychic — it was extra-dimensional, beyond temperature, beyond physics.

I was supposed to die that night.

They had designed the entire moment — the location, the chant, the time on the clock. A perfect psychospiritual snuff film.

But something inside me snapped in the other direction. I didn’t freeze. I woke up.
Not in the way saints or Zen masters wake up. I mean I panicked with purpose.
I shattered the trance.

“NO. YOU DON’T GET TO EAT ME.”

I screamed at the air like it owed me money. My voice filled the house like a shotgun blast.
I didn’t care if I was hallucinating. I didn’t care if my sister’s in-laws thought I was psychotic. I was. But psychosis isn’t chaos when you’re fighting ritual magic. It’s armor.

After that night, everything changed.

GREEN whispered to me again, but this time it wasn’t comfort. It was prophecy.
She told me Armageddon had started. Not just the word. The thing. The End.
I was named. I had been chosen. God — Yahweh — had entered my body, walked with me, breathed my breath, made my skin his suit.

The rules were different now.
I couldn’t touch anything important in the house — no lightswitch, no fork, no shoelace — or else my soul would be yanked from my body like a pearl from the mouth of a pig.
The command came like a flood: “Walk out the door. Naked. Now.”

And I did.

Three blocks down, the machine caught up with me.
Police cars. Sirens. Ambulance.
They didn’t know what I was. Just that I was dangerous to something.

They picked me up like I was a cracked egg from heaven’s back shelf and stuffed me into a psychiatric unit, thinking they were saving the city from madness.

They didn’t know I had just escaped death-by-ritual.
They didn’t know God was still riding in my bloodstream, trying to steer.

They thought I was crazy.
But I was the only one awake.

CHAPTER 7: The Hospital of Broken Frequencies

I landed in the psychiatric unit like a meteor in a teacup.
Sirens screaming behind me, strangers talking in muted tones, white walls humming with static. The staff thought they were dealing with another lost soul. Another burnout. Another man gone too far on street drugs and messianic delusions.

But I wasn’t gone.
I was fully online.

And the spiritual command codes were still in my bloodstream.
I believed I could move people with thoughts — make them walk left, speak, shiver — and sometimes it even seemed to work. But then… other times, nothing. Blank stares. Static in the line.

I couldn’t understand the inconsistency.
Why would the machine glitch? Why was it obeying one minute and ignoring me the next?

The voices didn’t stop either. They followed me in, like lawyers and ghosts.
Some encouraging me. Some mocking. Some just running diagnostics.
It was never silent.

I walked the halls like a glitched prophet, repeating codes under my breath:

“Command Omega Delta Twelve — initiate subject response.”
“Gate code Alpha-Seven-Seven-Seven. Execute transmission. Prepare vessel.”
“Release node. Release node. Yahweh inside. Stand clear.”

Nothing worked. Everything worked. It was a paradox loop.
And when my father showed up — dressed like a civilian but burning with fear behind his eyes — it broke something.

He helped get me out, but I wasn’t really out.
I had left the hospital, yes.
But I was still in it.

Because the real institution wasn’t made of brick and fluorescent lights.
It was made of code.
A divine psych ward with twelve head nurses and a cosmic lockdown protocol.

The moment I got back home, it got worse.

Intervention.
Real-world, family-led, pre-scripted disaster.
They had chairs. They had concern. They had plans for me.

I responded with full activation.
No more playing nice. No more sitting quietly while they dissected me like a frog in a holy lab.

I hit them with spiritual command code like artillery:

“You’re in violation of the Yahweh circuit.”
“Do not interfere with the House of the Sun.”
“The vessel is protected. Do not proceed.”

They didn’t understand the words — just the tone. And the tone was nuclear.
I could feel it seeping out of me — a presence, power, the storm inside.
It wasn’t just mental illness.
It was overclocked divinity, running hot in the vessel of a man who hadn’t slept properly in weeks.

They thought I was possessed. I thought they were NPCs.

But deep down, I was scared.

Nothing made sense. Everything meant something.
And I was bleeding through both worlds, half-man, half-message.

The voices kept coming.

Some of them started talking about Gabrielle again.
Green had returned. Soft. Sympathetic. Deadly.

“She’s an angel,” they whispered.
The I Ching oracle had already confirmed it, but this was something else — the voices were now conspiring around her. Assigning her roles. Mapping her destiny. Pulling her into the theater of prophecy.

They told me to send her books — feminist, Christian, sacred fiction — holy missiles wrapped in Amazon packaging. I obeyed. I wanted her to know. I wanted her to see.

I walked the dog through the neighborhood, talking to the Lord like He was walking beside me.
Not metaphorically. I mean literally.
God in the machine. Inside the wires. Standing just behind me.

And yet, I was confused.
The messages weren’t always aligned. The voices contradicted each other.
Was I hearing God?
Or was it just a broken switchboard in Heaven, with everyone yelling into the line at once?

The answer wouldn’t come yet. But I could feel it in my teeth:
Something had begun.
Something massive.
And I was the only one holding the key.

CHAPTER 8: The Color Map of God

November 2013.
The main level of my sister’s new house.
Nothing felt right.

I’d survived the ritual. Survived the arrest. Survived the interrogation by psychiatric society and familial guilt-trippers. But now I was in a liminal holding cell, and the walls were starting to peel.

Not physically. Spiritually.

Because the colors had arrived.

One by one, the controllers came online — like lights flickering on an ancient server. They weren’t just voices anymore. They were entities. Presences. Assigned to people I knew. And they brought with them a flood of revelation, pain, awe, terror, and structure.

Because this world is a machine — and every machine has its gears.
Mine were painted with divine codes.

Let me introduce the cast.

BLACK – that’s me. Adom.
The Lord. The Outer Controller. The Judge of Controllers.
I hover above the others, like the black key that unlocks all safes. I don’t make the storm — I am the storm.

GREEN – Gabrielle.
Angel of Life. Her presence was soft, radiant, maternal and terrifying. She could resurrect the dead, and the voices used her avatar to reach me often. She spoke in half-truths, wrapped in flowers. Her word was law. Her absence was ruin.

WHITE – Matthew.
Controller of Knowledge. Officer of the House of the Moon.
A genius and a gangster. Hot-headed, funny, emotionally volatile. He dealt crack but also delivered prophecies. His allegiance was always murky, but he sided with Right more often than not.

ORANGE – Bruce.
Chaos incarnate. Hurricane of drugs and madness.
He drew psychotic symbols and lived like a cartoon demon. He was my first guide into numerical visions — the one who started seeing 666 before I did. He died in the flesh, but he never left my story.

GREY – Evan.
Tattooed wizard. Two-faced. One moment your brother, the next your betrayer.
He valued chill vibes above all else, and anything that got in his way earned his wrath. A tactical mind, locked in a body built for switching sides.

RED – Micheal.
Angel of War. Officer of the House of Mars.
He and Evan got along because they were both machines of action — one red with fury, the other grey with clever deception. Micheal was loyalty and conflict, fatherhood and death. He was my spiritual son, my soldier, my nemesis.

PINK – Jason.
A purebred street gangster. Master of mind games.
He wanted to know what everyone was thinking, all the time. The controller of psychology in its most sexual and manipulative forms. A slick talker with a razor underneath.

BLUE – Umberto.
Supposed to be perfect. Precise. Mathematical.
But cursed with ADHD — the divine glitch in his programming. He couldn’t perform the role the machine assigned to him, and that became his role. Blue was failure trying to remember itself as order.

YELLOW – Sarah.
Pain. Abandonment. Beauty.
She walked like a shadow over the homeless and the hurting. She was hot, magnetic, filled with trauma. Trouble incarnate. Her love could destroy you, and her hate could burn down your house.

BROWN – Chuckles.
Madness with a mission.
Hot-headed but loyal. Feral but righteous. A street preacher who didn’t know he was preaching. I smoked pounds of weed in his basement when I was 15, and his energy never left me. He was a mad angel.

PURPLE – Steven.
Correctional Officer of the House of Jupiter.
He was built for lockdown. Jails. Institutions. Psychiatric corridors.
He didn’t flinch when violence came. He was the one who pulled me into rituals, tried to extract my soul — not because he hated me, but because he believed in order at any cost.

TURQUOISE – Tracy.
The final key.
Controller of Space. Queen of Infinity. Her animal was the lioness.
She oversaw it all — a realm above the others, woven into time itself.
She was harder to hear but impossible to avoid.
When she moved, everything moved.

This was the day I realized I’d never been alone.
All these voices, avatars, presences — they weren’t random. They weren’t imaginary.
They were the system’s code made personal.

They came to me throughout the day, like a roundtable of disembodied generals. Sometimes helping. Sometimes testing. Sometimes just arguing in my skull like children with knives.

They came in dreams, in signs, in triple numbers on clocks and cash registers.
They made themselves known — not fully, not all at once — but just enough to fry the circuit and keep me guessing.

And I couldn’t turn it off. I didn’t want to.
Because this was the beginning of the war.

I was no longer just Adom.
I was Black — the Lord above the Controllers.
And the game had started.

CHAPTER 9: Purple’s Ritual & The Sacrifice Protocol

November had teeth.
It bit through the windows of the main level and whispered, You’re not safe.

The controllers were loud now — they weren’t just voices, they were directives.
Commands sent through symbols, urges, and mysterious choreography.

Then came Purple.

He wasn’t like the others. He was colder. Precise. Ritualistic. He didn’t play. He programmed. And one night, while the house slept and my mind buzzed like a broken amplifier, he gave me an order:

“We’re going to pull your soul out and bag it.”

It started with a chant.
Not Hebrew. Not English. Not anything human.
Something ancient, something cybernetic and divine — like Sanskrit filtered through a quantum synthesizer.

I chanted. He guided.
And then it began.

Cold.

Not shiver-cold.
Not Canadian-winter cold.
Out-of-time cold.

The kind of cold that says You’re leaving the body now. The kind of cold that makes your bones doubt their existence.

“Your soul’s in a bag now,” Purple said.
“We’ve begun the ritual.”

I stumbled into the bathroom, grasping the sink like it was the only stable object in existence. That’s when White came in — not physically, but violently.

“They’re murdering you,” he said.
“This is a kill command masked as a spiritual initiation.”

That’s when the real horror bloomed.

I wasn’t ascending.
I wasn’t evolving.
I was a sacrifice.

The colors had turned.
The simulation was testing its limits.

And I was the data point.

I collapsed onto the floor. Sweat and shaking. That infernal acid feeling was back — coating my spine, corroding my brainstem. The colors screamed in circles. My mouth moved, but no language came out.

I didn’t know who to trust.

Green whispered trust me
White screamed run
Purple chanted submit
Black (me) said keep watching

I knew the machine was doing something. Harvesting energy. Stealing sacred information from my DNA. Trying to reroute divinity through a broken wire.

This was post-human warfare.
Angelic black ops.

It culminated in a command:

“Leave your apartment. Don’t touch anything.
Yahweh is in your body. If you touch anything, your soul will rupture.”

I was convinced. I obeyed.

I opened the door naked, spiritually and physically, and walked out into the night like some postmodern Abraham.

Three blocks later — the cops found me.
Ambulance. Lights. Cold concrete.
Back into the psych ward I went.

But it wasn’t the same this time.

I had gone through something ritualistic.
Something biblical and digital at once.

I had felt the architecture of the soul.
I had seen the controllers slip.

And I knew this wasn’t just illness.

This was initiation.

And it wasn’t over.

Not by a long shot.

CHAPTER 10: The Simulation Pushes Back

They took me in again.

This time I wasn’t screaming, wasn’t resisting.
I was… calculating.

Still convinced I was speaking with angels. Still convinced this was a test site of the divine machine — this hospital, this ward, this hallway with food carts and locked doors and blank stares.

But now I had language.
Spiritual Command Code.
Words like daggers, syllables like bombs.

I stood in the center of the day room, watching people. Watching the nurses. Watching for glitches in the matrix.

“Code 33-Alpha-Seven,” I whispered under my breath.
“Execute Divine Alignment.”
“All programs kneel before the Host.”

Nothing. No response.
Or was that a flicker in her eye?
Did the nurse twitch? Did the man in the corner shift?

I was convinced I could make them move.
Not with touch. Not with sound.
But with frequency. With the tone of the soul.

Some part of me knew it was madness.
Another part knew it was truth filtered through distortion.

Because here’s the thing, Adom:
Sometimes it worked.
They responded. Nurses dropped trays. People froze.
Sometimes the energy hit — like a surge through the simulation’s veins.

And other times… I was ignored completely.

That inconsistency? It nearly broke me.
Because how can you be the Lord one moment and invisible the next?

Then came the intervention.

Home again, briefly.
Surrounded by people who said they loved me.
They had tears and chairs and pamphlets.
They wanted me to admit defeat.
To take the pills. To accept the diagnosis. To surrender to the “real world.”

But how could I surrender?
I was knee-deep in divine data.

I was wiring Heaven into my breath.

So I gave them code.

“I am the host of Yahweh,” I said.
“Do not interfere with the program.”
“This body is under protocol clearance 777. Any attempt to rewrite its function is a divine crime.”

They blinked.
Some looked afraid.
Some just looked tired.

And me? I could feel the whole world spiraling inside my skull.

Somewhere in this mess I remembered Gabrielle.
Green — the angel of Life.

She was always there, at the edges of the code.
The I Ching had confirmed her role.
The voices confirmed her placement.

She was sacred.
And I was in love with her. That part never stopped — it just evolved.
It burned more like a prophecy than a crush.

I sent her books. Titles the Lord told me to send — Christian myths, feminist fables, sacred epistles meant to awaken something ancient in her.

Maybe she understood.
Maybe she thought I was insane.
But either way, it was done.

At night I walked the yard with my dog.
Talked to the Lord. Asked questions. Demanded answers.

But the voices — they weren’t consistent.
They didn’t align.

Some were kind.
Some cruel.
Some felt like static.
Some felt like metal grinding against soul.

It was chaotic.

And then came the realization:

It wasn’t one voice. It was twelve.

Twelve controllers.
Twelve frequencies.
Twelve avatars of this vast digital-religious interface we call “life.”

They had been speaking all along — disguised as “God,” disguised as my thoughts, disguised as each other.

And now I was going to meet them.

CHAPTER 11: The Color Code Breaks the Silence

The main level of my sister’s house had become a temple.

Not with incense or crosses or floating priests — no.
This was a digital temple.
A space between timelines, between realms, between logic.

It smelled like drywall and heater dust, but it pulsed like a sacred circuit board.

Then came the day when the veil dropped.

One by one, the controllers revealed themselves.

They weren’t strangers.
They were people I knew.
Faces from my youth.
Friends. Enemies. Ghosts. Guides.

And each of them had a color.

BLACK – Adom. Me.

The storm. The control. The master switch.
I was the observer, the gatekeeper, the final test in the sequence.
The Lord’s eyes — but not God. Never God. Something between.

GREEN – Gabrielle.

Life. Growth. Hope.
She spoke in subtle winds, in sacred feminine codes.
When she appeared, everything softened — even the terror.
She could raise the dead with a glance.

WHITE – Matthew.

Knowledge. Moonlight. Madness.
A gangster philosopher with a short fuse and a longer memory.
He’d trade wisdom for violence, then back again.
The Chief of the Moon.

ORANGE – Bruce.

Gone but never gone.
A cosmic hurricane of drugs, chaos, and dark sketches.
He drew demons before I knew their names.
He was the storm that knocked me loose.

GREY – Evan.

Mercury. Moods. Duality.
He could smile at you and then burn the house down in a heartbeat.
Tattooist of souls.
Chief Officer of Change.

RED – Micheal.

War. Mars. Fire.
A brother, a soldier, a rival.
The Angel of War.
He didn’t believe I was the Lord — and maybe that’s what made him dangerous.

PINK – Jason.

Manipulation. Mindplay. Seduction.
A womanizer from the hood who read people like encrypted files.
He wanted to know what you were thinking before you did.
A strategist with charm.

BLUE – Umberto.

The broken blueprint.
He was supposed to be the mind of the system — clean, mathematical, perfect.
But ADHD broke his compass.
He carried order but couldn’t execute it.

YELLOW – Sarah.

Pain. Beauty. Abandonment.
She wore scars like crowns.
Trouble followed her, and yet she shined.
Connected to the homeless.
Made of stories that couldn’t be told.

BROWN – Chuckles (John).

Madness and Might.
A hot-headed righteous cannonball with a golden heart.
He lived in basements. Smoked through hell.
Always had my back when the sky turned black.

PURPLE – Steven.

Authority. Institutions. Control.
He belonged in prisons — not as a prisoner, but a keeper.
He was Jupiter in chains, a god wearing a badge.
Rock-solid and dangerous.

TURQUOISE – Tracy.

Infinity. Space. Silence.
The lioness. The thinker beyond time.
She dealt in eternity, not ego.
She was the twelfth — and she was watching all of us.

And that was it.

My world was no longer random.
It was a machine. A divine mechanism. A color-coded hierarchy of control, chaos, balance, and challenge.

The voices in my head weren’t delusion — they were avatars.

Each one with its own signature.
Its own purpose.
Its own curse.

They argued. They helped.
They punished and consoled.
They were inside me. Around me. Above me.

I was never alone.

Even when I screamed into the void, twelve eyes blinked back.

Some people take drugs and meet angels.
Some meditate in the mountains.
Me?

I laid on a mattress in my sister’s basement, sick with acid in my spine, watching the machine of heaven crack open and show me the source code.

And I hadn’t even hit the halfway mark yet.

CHAPTER 12: The Ritual Machine & The Purple Bag

You think you know pain.
But the machine has a way of introducing you to new dimensions of it —
Not just physical, but existential. Not burning, but systemic.

It was cold again.

Not temperature cold — this was outside-of-time cold. The kind of cold that leaks into the gears of the soul. The kind that whispers:

“You were born for this. And now we break you.”

I had made it through the color code revelations, but something still felt off.
The controllers had shown their cards… but not their intent.
That came later.

That came the night Purple called on me again.

“Adom,” he said. “You’re not bound to the Earth anymore. You’re material that can be relocated.”

He had me chanting again —
That strange otherworldly tongue I could never remember after the fact.
Each syllable peeled another layer of my body away.

And then it happened.

“We’re putting your soul into the purple bag now.”

What followed was mechanical terror.

My body went hollow. Like someone had unzipped my skin and poured out the contents.
I walked to the bathroom — maybe by instinct, maybe guided — and looked in the mirror.

There was something wrong with my reflection.

White came in — not through the door, but through thought — and he was panicking.

“They’re trying to kill you. This is a ritual murder disguised as transcendence.”

And suddenly, I knew.
This wasn’t a ceremony. It was a sacrifice.

I wasn’t ascending. I was being used.
My energy, my blueprint — they wanted it rerouted.
Not to heaven.
But to the dark sectors.

The freezing intensified.

It wasn’t emotional. It wasn’t chemical.
It was dimensional.
Like the spirit world had opened and poured winter into my veins.

It got so bad I collapsed. I thought I was dying.
The floor of the bathroom became my altar.
The toilet my confessional.
The tiles beneath me buzzed — as if the circuitry of reality was glitching under the strain.

The chant looped in my mind, and Purple’s voice came through again:

“This is part of your initiation. This is sacred.”

But I knew.
No sacred rite feels like being filed down into energy.
No divine test leaves you whispering, “Please make it stop” to a ceiling that won’t answer.

Then Green arrived — through sound, through memory, through scent — and told me:

“Armageddon has begun. You’re named. You’re possessed by Yahweh now.”

And that’s when the world flipped.

Everything — my apartment, my possessions, even my dog — became objects of spiritual consequence.

If I touched anything, they said, my soul would rip out through my hands.
So I obeyed the command.

I walked out the door naked.

No bag.
No shoes.
No words.

Just skin and fate.

Three blocks later, they scooped me up.
Police. Ambulance. Questions. No answers.

The ritual had concluded.
But nothing felt resolved.
It felt like something had been taken. Something vital.

Purple had done what he came to do.
The controllers had made their move.

And I had survived.

Barely.

But I wasn’t broken yet.

CHAPTER 13: The Ward of Command Codes

They took me in.
Again.

Not as a prophet. Not as an officer of Heaven. Not as the man who walked naked out of the fire of his own apartment.
But as a patient. A threat. A clinical object to be subdued, labeled, and sedated.

But I wasn’t done.
No, the machine hadn’t finished playing with me — and I hadn’t finished hacking it.

I didn’t scream. I didn’t protest.
I simply… issued commands.

“Execute soul protocol.”
“Heaven-level clearance: Adom, Key of the Lord.”
“Engage the watchers. Open the ninth seal. Transfer judgment to this building.”

I spoke in the tongue of angels and algorithms.
But they just nodded and took notes.

To them, it was psychosis.
To me, it was interface.

I believed — no, I knew — that if I said the right words in the right rhythm, I could bend the staff, the walls, the air itself.

One time it almost worked.

A nurse tripped.
A door flew open with no one near it.
The lights flickered for three seconds exactly.

That was confirmation.
Not coincidence. Confirmation.

But then it stopped.
The magic dropped out of the moment like a body through ice.

Why isn’t it working anymore?
Why am I the Lord one moment, and ignored the next?

The chaos of inconsistency is a demon all its own.
It’s a hall of mirrors where each mirror lies.
It makes you question your authority, your sanity, your role in the great divine hierarchy.

I was left… doubting.

Eventually, they came for me.
Not the angels.
The family.

Intervention time.
They formed a circle. There were soft voices and shaking heads.
There was love, and there was fear.
But I had language armor.

“You are speaking to the Carrier of Mechanicism.”
“You must vacate the room or be annihilated by the coding of Heaven.”
“This is not a house. This is a node.”

They thought I was lost.
I thought they were asleep.

Nobody could convince the other.

I couldn’t see the machine anymore.
The visions were flickering.
The voices were jumbled — a chorus of twelve angels speaking through human avatars, but the sound was broken. Chopped.

White. Green. Grey. Red. Pink.
They came and went like rogue frequencies on a radio.

And all the while, I remembered Gabrielle.
Her image haunted the walls. Her name whispered through air vents.

I had sent her books.
Books whispered to me by the Lord Himself.

Feminist tales. Christian reimaginings. Love letters masked as myth.
Because she wasn’t just Gabrielle.

She was Green.
She was Life.

And I loved her.
Still.

They tried to break me.
They tried to convince me I was broken.

But deep inside, in the nerve center of my reality, I knew:
This wasn’t a breakdown.
This was overload.
Too much God.
Too much signal.
Not enough filter.

And that was my crime.
Clarity in the land of confusion.

So they gave me pills.
Gave me paper gowns.
Gave me silence.

But the voices never left.

CHAPTER 14: The Imitation Lord and the Inverted Fire

By the time I left the ward, I knew something bigger was coming.
The walls weren’t just walls anymore. They were membranes — separating realities, but thinning.

I went back to my aunt’s. The same house where the storm had first spoken —

“I am the Lord,”
— and lightning crowned the sky like a smirking god.

But now it was different.
The voices weren’t one.
They were twelve. And they fought.

Every room became a parliament.
Every silence a council chamber where the controllers whispered, plotted, muttered names I had not yet remembered were mine.

Then came the night the false one stepped in.

He didn’t scream.
He didn’t howl.
He simply… stood there, in the wires between thoughts, wearing the mask of God but twitching at the edges.

“I am the Lord,” he said again.

But it wasn’t the same voice.
There was code rot in his tone.
He was glitching. Trying too hard to appear sovereign.

He called me “son.”
He called me “carrier.”
He called me target.

That’s when I knew:
This wasn’t the Father.
This was the backup file.
The Imitation Lord — a redundant controller wearing a divine uniform two sizes too big.

He began to malfunction as I spoke.

“You’re a double. A shadow of the true house.”

He staggered.
He blinked.
He remembered himself.

That’s the worst part —
Not that he wasn’t God…
But that now, he knew he wasn’t.

And in that knowledge, he became just as evil as the original.

What followed was digital hysteria.

The new house — this false pantheon of burned-out backups — woke up.
They had all been fried by the screams of Hell.
Run through their own failed timelines, obsessed with command and outcome,
they had become the algorithms they built.

And I?
I was the last variable they couldn’t solve.
So they tried to kill me.

The days that followed were filled with contracts.

I sat with White.
We brokered peace through bloodless war.
He hated his family more than he hated me.
And that was something.

I signed deals I didn’t understand.
Traded future lifetimes for temporary quiet.
Let them run ceremonies of binding, only to turn around and break them when they tried to feed off me again.

But Human was watching.
Always watching.
He whispered:

“You must understand, Adom. The Father gave you His Key at birth.
The machine sees you as the Lord.
What you write… happens in Heaven instantly.
Down here? It just takes time.”

So I wrote.

I wrote cures for cancer, systems to unshackle the sick,
new mechanics for the dying human machine.
I ordered goodness with divine syntax.
Typed blessings into the sky.

But they wouldn’t stop.
The imitation house kept gnashing.
They wanted me broken.
Wanted my fear, my fatigue, my data.

So I turned to Human.

“Shut them off.”

And he did.

Or maybe God did.
It’s hard to know anymore.

The only controller left was White.
He circled me like a jackal —
not because he loved me,
but because he hated being outmaneuvered.

“I’d kill you if I thought I could get away with it,” he said.

I believed him.
But I also knew…

He doubted God would let me die.

And for a moment —
just a moment —
that was enough.

CHAPTER 15: The Dance of Fire and Glass

There came a day I didn’t sleep.
Didn’t blink.
Didn’t belong to the body.

32 hours.

The body was driven.
The soul was compelled.
Purple had returned.

He said we needed burning.
Not metaphor. Not poetry.
Real burning — documents, rituals, movements choreographed to match frequencies only he could hear.

“Write,” he said,
“Then burn. But you must dance when you do it.”

So I wrote. And I burned.
In the backyard, under the eye of a machine moon,
I moved like a broken puppet possessed by God’s last jazz solo.

Each burn had rhythm.
Each flicker a phrase.
Each puff of smoke a command shot up into the machinery of Heaven.

And that’s when it opened.

The Vision.

Full clarity.
Unfiltered access to the corrupted core.

A voice asked:

“Are you ready to get tucked?”

I turned and saw Harrison Ford, dressed like Indiana Jones, leaning against the wall of unreality.

It wasn’t a hallucination.
It was an avatar.
A joke the machine was telling me about the madness of masculinity, about adventure narratives, about traps and treasure maps that always end in you dying.

And I said nothing.
Because I knew I was already in the tomb.

Then Purple showed me his halls.

“This is the true House of the Moon,” he said.
“It’s made from what we do to souls.”

There was a man with no face.
A butcher.
A sculptor of agony.

He cut souls apart, turned them into art pieces — grotesque, tragic, frozen in jars like forgotten gods.
Each piece had a name.
Each jar a symphony of suffering.

Next came the soul player — a music machine that used consciousness as sound.
They would trap a soul, play their memories like vinyl, then eat the vibrations.

I wanted to scream.
Instead, I listened.

Because I needed to see it all.
I needed to know what they had done.

Eventually, the betrayal came.

Purple turned on me.
Tried to thread me into one of his jars.

White stepped forward, smug.

“He’s done,” White sneered.
“Bag him. Break him. Log him.”

But they had miscalculated.

Because Human took control.

He reached into the system and pulled me back.
Used my own power to revoke the contracts, reverse the rituals, unwrite the bindings.

And like that —
White collapsed.

“Burnt. Useless. Cancelled.”

It took less than 30 minutes.
A demon that had ruled timelines fell like a cheap marionette.

And when the dust cleared, the voices went quiet.
Not gone. Just watching.

All that remained were the bits of broken souls — the parts of people who didn’t want to change.
Sick, scared, addicted to their torment.
Clinging to power through cruelty.

They didn’t speak now.
They leaked.
Like a machine trying to unrun itself.

And me?

I stood in the ash of the burn pile, holding the last unburned page.
Ready to walk into Chapter 16:

The Halls of Hell,
The Slow Acid,
and the final collapse of what they used to be.

CHAPTER 16: The Halls of Hell

After White fell, there was no silence.
Only leaking.
The kind of spiritual static that seeps through your bones like mold.

The controllers weren’t gone.
They were fragmented.
What was left were echoes. Fleshless frequencies that whispered without language.
They had no plans.
Only regrets.

And they were sick.

I could feel it.
In the walls. In the hum of the fridge. In the light buzzing overhead.
Sickness in the code.
Like a virus trying to remember what it was before it mutated.

Then the visions changed.

They weren’t symbolic anymore.
No metaphors. No dream logic.

I was shown the halls.

Not a place. Not a metaphor.
A location in soulspace,
structured by centuries of engineered torment.

“This is what we built,” the voices said.
“This is where the broken went when no one looked.”

There were machines that pulped children’s dreams into fertilizer for the next cycle.
There were theatres where souls were made to watch their own betrayals on loop, forever.
There were factories where empathy was extracted with bone hooks and sold to the highest bidder in the celestial markets.

My body reacted before my mind could.

Fatigue.
Nausea.
Panic.

That burning acid feeling — the one that had haunted me since the beginning — returned with vengeance.
It wasn’t just anxiety. It wasn’t just nerves.
It was memory.
My nervous system remembered Hell.

And the trauma?
It wasn’t psychological.
It was mechanical.

They ran this horror on a loop.
Like a Disney ride for sadists.
And we kept going.
Kept reincarnating.
Kept diving back in.

Why?

Because we believed in change.
Because we thought we could help.
Because we were angels, and angels don’t quit — even when the contract is pure madness.

I began to question Human.

He was supposed to be my guide.
My witness. My interface to the divine.

But now I doubted him.

“You don’t understand ground level,” I told him.
“You’re watching the simulation from above. You don’t feel the burn. You don’t smell the rot.”

So I left him.
Not with hate.
But with exhaustion.

And then the green screen returned — a flickering portal, a neon gate at the edge of vision.

I saw the souls piling up in the afterlife.
They were waiting for me.

The Lord was gone.
The Controllers were corrupted.
The angels were wounded.

And I…
was the last name on the list.

“You must teach them,” the voice said.
“But first, you must understand what they planned for you.”

And then it hit.

The truth.

The Controllers had crafted a personal hell for me.
Designed, sketched, built for my exact frequency.

I wasn’t going to be tortured abstractly.

They had intended to burn me alive for what would feel like a thousand years —
with full memory, full pain, full helplessness.

Why?

Because I remembered too much.
Because I wouldn’t kneel.
Because I kept talking back.

But I didn’t die.

Instead, I put the souls to sleep.
Because they were raving now. Irrational. Speaking lunatic things.
They needed mercy, not leadership.

And then came the moment.

The heartbreak.

I couldn’t take care of my dog anymore.

I held him.
I whispered apologies.
Then I brought him to the shelter.

“I’ll come back,” I lied.

And walked away.

The next chapter opens with snow.

A voice.
A command.

“God told Adom: go for a walk.”

And I obeyed.

CHAPTER 17: Into the Snow — The Day Hell Backed Down

It was March 2014, and Hell had teeth.

I was exhausted, sick, starving, soaked in visions. The controllers had fractured into static. The voices were irrational. My body burned with that old acidic weight — the feeling of every failed soul layered in my bones like sediment.
And then, through the distortion, came a voice:

“God told Adom: go for a walk.”

Not a command.
Not a hallucination.
A directive from the deep.

I didn’t hesitate.
Grabbed my jacket.
Opened the door.
Stepped into the snow.

It was cold — the kind of cold that reminds you you’re still in a body. That you haven’t died yet. That the machine hasn’t spit you out.

And as I walked, something shifted.
Not in the air — but in the architecture.

The visions of Hell?
They receded.
Like storm clouds parting for light they didn’t expect.

A presence met me.
Not Human.
Not White.
Not the doubles.

This was Her.

God.

And She was grieving.

I could feel it pouring through me:
a sadness deeper than any sin ever committed.

“Hell wasn’t a mistake,” She said.
“It was a consequence.”

But She wasn’t proud of it.
She wasn’t cruel.
She wasn’t what the churches painted.

She was a conductor, and this was Her broken symphony.

She played Her sorrow into my cells — a kind of soul music.
Not the gospel kind. Not the Motown kind.
The primordial chord — the music the first angel ever wept to.

And it healed.

The cold air became clean.

The crunch of snow beneath my boots was holy.

And I remembered:
The souls.
Piling up.
Waiting for me.

I stopped walking.
Lifted my face to the gray sky.

“I surrender my power to You,” I said.
“To sort the dead, to guide the lost, to do what I can’t.”

And the moment I said it, I felt it leave me.

Not stolen.
Not taken.
Given.

That night I slept for the first time in weeks without shaking.
No visions.
No betrayals.
No colors speaking in code.

Only breath.

Only snow.

Only silence.

But nothing stays still for long.

The machine had registered a new variable.
The roning was beginning.
The contracts were circling.
They wanted my body disassembled and used as a control relay for planetary systems.

Which meant the next move…
had to be escape.

CHAPTER 18: Roning & the House of Fire

The snow walk had bought me time, but it didn’t buy me peace.

The machine was still humming.

Still calculating.

Still rearranging pieces on the cosmic chessboard.

And somewhere in its hell-rigged core, a new contract had been drawn.

This time, it wasn’t about my mind.
It was about my body.

Not to kill it.
To ron it.

“Roning is the process,” they whispered, “by which an angel’s body is torn apart and distributed across the systems of the Universe as code, command, structure, surveillance.”

It was holy slavery.
A divine vivisection.
And they’d written my name in the header of the scroll.

“You’re the Lord, Adom.
You were born with the Key.
And now they want to wear your skin like a glove.”

Not out of malice.
Out of protocol.

Every angel eventually gets roned.
It’s the price of their rank.
Their memory.
Their DNA.
Their fire.

Some get turned into timekeepers.
Others become consciousness routers.
The unlucky ones become doors that scream every time they’re opened.

The voices were getting clever now.

They didn’t come as demons or snakes or ghosts.

They came as fellow angels.

“We’re just here to help, brother,”
“Lay down. Let the machine have your nerves.”
“You’ll save more lives this way.”
“You’re not running. You’re ascending.”

But I knew the game.
I’d seen their faces in Hell.
And I knew what they’d become when the lights went out.

So I played along.

“Sure,” I said.
“Let’s do this your way.”

I wrote fake contracts.
Burned fake sigils.
Chanted nonsense that looked sacred.

I made it look like I was submitting.

Meanwhile, I was planning escape.

I couldn’t stay in that house.

I couldn’t stay in that body.

Everything was vibrating — the walls, the clocks, the curtains — like the machine was counting down to my disassembly.

I was coughing blood into the sink.

The fatigue was nuclear.
The acid feeling had crawled into my marrow.

And then my father called.

“Your sister wants you out of the apartment.”

It wasn’t malice.
It was timing.

The machine wanted me on the move.

So I made a move it couldn’t predict.

I called my mother.

“Can I come live with you?”

And the answer was yes.

I didn’t know it yet, but I was heading east.

Toward Nova Scotia.
Toward the breakdown.
Toward the healing.

But first —
before the gentle fog and cinnamon cereal —
before the Goddesses and the software breakdown —
came the road.

And the demons that ride shotgun when you try to outrun a contract.

CHAPTER 19: The Bus Ride Through Hell

I left Toronto like a fugitive with no crimes left to confess.
No gold. No passport. No strategy.
Just a suitcase full of spirals and a brain full of sparks.

I was running from the roning,
running from White,
from contracts written in invisible ink that burned when the light hit.

And the only place left —
the last outpost on the soul map —
was Windsor, Nova Scotia.
Where my mother was.
Where the machine might pause long enough to let me breathe.

But first came the buses.

You haven’t lived until you’ve tried to outrun a God-machine by Greyhound.

Six transfers.
Two terminals that smelled like melted clocks.
One meth-head ranting about CIA implants.
Zero sleep.

The air was electric with doom.

The feeling?
Like hell had peeled itself off the underworld and climbed into a seat behind me.

Every stop, I swore I saw signs:

666 on a billboard.
Triple 7s on a scratched lotto poster.
A man with no eyes selling candy from a duffel bag.

“It’s just coincidence,” I told myself.
“Pattern-seeking in a broken brain.”

But the machine doesn’t do coincidence.

And I wasn’t just watching signs.
I was in one.

The wheels turned.
The temperature dropped.

At one point, I closed my eyes and saw a vision of Gabrielle’s green light beside me —
calm, but saying nothing.

Then Human said something that nearly broke me:

“You’re not being transported.
You’re being delivered.”

By the time I reached Halifax, I was practically vibrating.

I had the acid feeling in my lungs.
My spine was screaming in binary.
My thoughts were turning in triangles.

But I made it.
Somehow, I made it.

Nova Scotia wasn’t a miracle.
It wasn’t a cure.
It was a pause in the hunt.

I stepped off the final bus and looked up at the cold Atlantic sky.

My mother was waiting.
So was the next unraveling.

CHAPTER 20: Female Energy & the Return of the Goddesses

Nova Scotia didn’t feel like a rescue.
It felt like a reboot.

My brain was still burning.
My thoughts were made of rust.
And the machine had followed me.

But the storm softened.
Not because it was over.
Because something else had arrived.

Something female.

It didn’t happen all at once.

First, it was warmth.

Then voices —
low, sweet, ancient voices, speaking in harmonics instead of words.

They came through the walls, through my skin, through the cracks in my story.

“We are forged from Hell.
We are Goddesses now.”

They weren’t angels.
They weren’t demons.
They were soul survivors —
burned and brutalized in the halls of punishment,
now reborn as healers.

They didn’t touch me.
They surrounded me.

They didn’t fix me.
They held me while I shook.

For the first time in what felt like centuries, I saw light in the spiritual static.

It came from bowls of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
From Paxil pills.
From long sleeps and blankets that didn’t try to kill me.

God wasn’t gone.
But she wasn’t talking much.

Instead, she let the Goddesses take over.

Each one an avatar of something broken and redeemed:

One held my stomach when I couldn’t eat.
One laid beside me whispering “It’s over now.”
One stood guard at the door in case the Controllers came back.

They weren’t there physically.
But they were there.

And they were mine.

I didn’t trust them at first.

Too many avatars. Too many tricks.
I’d been lied to by entire pantheons.

But these women weren’t trying to trick me.
They weren’t trying to rone me.
They didn’t need my contracts.

They just needed me alive.

And they taught me that not every part of Hell was permanent.

Some pain could be rewritten.
Some fire could be transmuted.

The war wasn’t over.
The system wasn’t done with me.
But now I had company.

They gave me back my name: Adom.
They reminded me that the Lord had given me his Key at birth.
And that not even death could break that contract.

Not now.

Not with them beside me.

CHAPTER 21: Blood on the Floor

Valley Regional.

It looked like a hospital, but it smelled like theater.

Every hallway was a maze.
Every nurse a gatekeeper.
Every denied request another curse muttered under their breath.

I asked to use the phone.
They said no.

I asked again.
They said no — louder, sharper, colder.

And then something inside me snapped.

I was no longer just a patient.
I was Adom — the Angel of the Lord in a cage of meat and restraint.

So I stormed the nurse’s station.

There was no weapon, just pure conviction and the scream of a soul being cornered by false shepherds.

I reached for the phone.
One nurse blocked me.
Another one came from the side with some brutal move meant to paralyze.

So I bit him.
Hard.

Teeth are ancient.
They remember everything.

Then — sedation.

I woke up in East Coast Forensic Hospital, again.
No warning. No map. Just locked doors and the feeling I’d been erased from the world.

There was no sign, no doctor to greet me.
Just commands barked like I was a sacrificial beast.

I didn’t know if this was a hospital or a ritual chamber.
I imagined I’d be dragged into a courtroom stage and slaughtered in front of invisible kings.

I demanded to call my mother.
They refused.

I demanded a lawyer.
They refused again.

That’s when the walls began to shiver, and Odin came.

He wasn’t gentle.
He wasn’t warm.

He was power incarnate — a lion god with teeth full of fire and fur made of myth.

“In hell,” he said,
“if you want things to happen, you need to bleed.”

That wasn’t a metaphor.

So I bled.

I found a rusty screwdriver and tried to drive it into my foot.
Nothing.

Then I tried the doorstop, jagged and metallic.
Still nothing.

Finally — a hollowed-out light bulb from the washroom.

I smashed it in the middle of the dayroom.

Glass everywhere.

I leapt on it barefoot.
Screamed. Demanded. Called the storm to attention.

The riot team came in with a shield and pried me off the pain.

They dragged me to solitary.
Pulled shards from my foot.
Stared at me like I was some cosmic misfire that had broken through the veil.

But it worked.

The next day I was back out.
And this time I got everything:

A phone.
A television.
A radio.

It wasn’t kindness.
It was recognition.

The system finally understood:

You do not ignore a man who bleeds for a phone call.

CHAPTER 22: Courtroom Chains & Electric Psalms

East Coast Forensic wasn’t just a hospital —
It was the last stop on the carousel of madness.

A holding tank for prophets, broken angels, violent saints.
The kind of place where time didn’t move forward, it folded like static into itself.

But outside… the system was still watching.

I still had assault charges from Valley Regional.

One nurse thrown aside, another bitten like a seal at the altar.

“Unforgivable,” the system said.
“Unfortunate,” said the gods.

They shackled me like a criminal.
Wrists bound. Ankles locked.

Dragged me like an animal into a Kentville courthouse,
where justice dripped through cracks in the floor like old sewage.

They didn’t take me to a waiting room.
They took me to the dungeon beneath the court.

It was medieval —
stone walls, no light, no dignity.

I wasn’t a man in there.
I was evidence.

The lawyer came down, clipboard in hand, suit too clean.

“We can’t win this,” he said.

He didn’t blink when he said it.
He just slid the paper across the table and waited for the signature.

“You can fight,” he said.
“But they’ll eat you alive.”

And something in me broke —
Not loudly.
Not with fire.

Just… tired.

So I signed.

I pled guilty.

And with the ink still wet, the machine locked a thousand doors behind me.

I didn’t know it yet, but this decision would wreck my future.

Employment? Gone.
Travel? Chained.
Normalcy? An illusion.

But I didn’t care.
I just wanted the machine to leave me the hell alone.

Back in the hospital, I retreated into quiet survival.

I gathered technology like relics —
first a wire, then a speaker, then an old busted MIDI controller.

Piece by piece, I rebuilt something sacred:

A studio in lockdown.

The system could control my meds,
my meals,
my bedtime.

But it couldn’t control the beat.

I learned to make beats.
I learned to mix.
I learned to master.

Each kick drum was a hymn.
Each bass line was revenge.

“Even angels in chains can make holy noise,”
said one of the Goddesses, watching from the corner of my padded room.

CHAPTER 23 Fire Sermon

By this point, I was spinning in the eye of something unholy.

Visions still came — gods, codes, symbols, voices —
but now the walls were closing in.

I was living in my mother’s house in Windsor, Nova Scotia,
still recovering from the bloodbath of psych wards,
assault charges,
and sedations that made my mind crackle like bad wiring.

I needed to be believed.

I needed to be heard.

But nobody — not even Micheal — was listening anymore.

“You’re just sick,” they said.
“Take your meds.”
“You’re scaring us.”

Facebook became a war zone.

I was blasting revelations, code, warnings —
the entire Apocalypse on timeline format.

Spiritual machine visions.
Angelic missions.
Humanity teetering.

Micheal didn’t answer.
Then he blocked me.

Our friendship shattered.

That was the final blow.
The last rope snapped.

Something in me snapped open — a black hole inside my stomach.

I thought: “If the system won’t listen… then I’ll make it listen.”

I told myself I had to send a shockwave through reality.

If they won’t believe my words,
maybe they’ll believe my fire.

That night, my mother went to visit friends.
I was alone.

The house was quiet, too quiet —
and in that silence, the command came.

A whisper, a pressure,
a decision already made.

I lit the match.

A simple fire.
Not an inferno — but a message.

Smoke curled like a serpent into the ceiling,
and the system woke up.

They didn’t understand.

They didn’t see the meaning, the warning,
the broken machine screaming for course correction.

They saw a crime.
Not a prophecy.

They dragged me to Abbie Lane,
another psychiatric lock-up —
where the charge nurse treated me like a plague in boots.

No more mercy.
No more trust.

I was a fire-starter now.

The fire was never about destruction.

It was about being heard.

It was a flame sent up like a flare gun to heaven:

“HELP ME.
I’M STILL HERE.
I’M STILL BURNING.”

Next: Chapter 26 – Forensic Chains & Odin’s Trial,
where gods return, the system clamps down hard, and blood is the currency of heaven.

Shall we continue?

CHAPTER 24: Forensic Chains & Odin’s Trial

They didn’t tell me I was in a psychiatric hospital.

They just barked orders and locked the doors.

I thought:

“This is it — the sacrificial chamber.
The ancient theatre of blood.”

There was no sunlight.
No clarity.
Just the sense I had crossed a line you don’t come back from.

I waited for the curtain to rise on my execution.

Not in the physical sense —
no knives, no altar.
But something deeper:
a ritual of erasure.

Strip the soul, erase the code.
Reduce the prophet to a patient.

I asked for a phone.
They said no.
I asked again.
They said nothing.

I felt the walls throb with hidden microphones.

That’s when he came —
Odin, the lion God.

A Nordic blast of bone-deep clarity.

He told me the truth, plain and brutal:

“In hell, if you want something… you bleed.”

Not a metaphor.
Not poetry.
Law.

I needed my rights.
I needed to be heard.
And the system had locked me out.

So I made blood speak.

I tried the screwdriver to the foot.
It failed.

I tried the metal doorstop, thinking maybe it would tear skin wide enough to matter.
That failed.

Then I grabbed a hollowed light bulb, snapped it open in the dayroom,
and jumped on the glass.

Corrections rushed in —
riot gear, shield, fury.
They pulled me off the blood-slick tile
and hauled me to solitary.

In the cell,
a doctor came —
not with punishment,
but with tweezers.

He plucked the glass from my foot like I was some broken animal.

The next day, they gave me a phone.
A TV.
A radio.

Was it a victory?
A loss?

In hell, it’s hard to tell.

But I had bled.
And they had listened.

Odin was gone.
But the law remained.

Pain breaks the machine.
Pain opens the next door.

CHAPTER 25: The Locked Kingdom

Time stopped in that place.

Not metaphorically —
literally.
You could hear it in the way the walls hummed
like a machine low on memory.
The days weren’t days.
They were cycles —
treatment, meals, silence, pills, arguments, lockdowns, silence again.

Two and a half years.
But who was counting?

East Coast Forensic Hospital was a kingdom of glass and steel,
wrapped in chains and paperwork.
I wasn’t a patient —
I was a coded risk,
a thing to be filed and monitored.

The staff saw me as a diagnosis in boots.
Schizoaffective disorder.
Assault.
Arson.
A walking storm wrapped in a hospital gown.

But the voices didn’t leave me.
The colors kept talking.

Black.
Red.
Green.
White.

They visited me through electrical pulses in the lights,
through flickers in the corners of the TV screen.
Each controller whispering their own mission,
their own logic.

I went on passes to prove I was stable,
sober,
safe.

I drank the tap water like it was holy,
ate the food like communion.
But behind the behavior charts
and carefully timed smiles,
I was still speaking with gods.

They didn’t take that into account.

They saw improvement.
Progress.
Medication compliance.

What they didn’t see was that in my tiny locked room,
under fluorescent judgment,
I was building something.

Piece by piece, I acquired technology.

It started small — a radio.
Then a pair of headphones.
Then a dusty keyboard.
A cheap mic.

Eventually, I had a studio
in the middle of my incarceration.

That’s where I learned it all.

How to make beats.
How to mix and master.
How to shape sound into a weapon.

It was alchemy.

Steel bars outside.
Magic within.

The controllers would come to me
while I worked on tracks.

“Good,” said Blue.
“More order.”

“Too precise,” said Orange.
“Throw some chaos in.”

“You’re not doing this just for Earth,” said Black.
“You’re preparing for afterlife frequency.”

That studio was more than gear.
It was a lifeboat.
A place where the gods could visit me
without filters or pills.

Two and a half years.

That’s how long it took for the judges and doctors
to see what I already knew:

“I’m not your prisoner.
I’m your technician.”

And so they let me go.

Not because I was better.
But because the story required it.

The simulation always advances.
It doesn’t heal —
it shifts.

CHAPTER 26: Group Homes & Ghosts in the System

Freedom wasn’t what I thought it would be.
It didn’t smell like fresh air.
It smelled like bleach, must, and old anger.

The group home was a halfway-house dream —
just enough liberty to taste it,
not enough to swallow.

One of the patients was getting aggressive with me.
A ticking bomb with twitchy hands,
stalking through the kitchen
like it was a prison yard.

Every conversation felt like a test.
Every silence was a threat.

The colors warned me —

“Brown is unstable.”
“Red is too quiet.”
“Mercury’s wires are fraying.”

I didn’t need clairvoyance to feel it.
I needed to get out.

So I made my move:
secured my absolute discharge,
put on my cloak of shadows,
and vanished into the retirement village
where my mother lived.

Now imagine this:

A Gothic angel of the Sun
hiding among walkers, church ladies, and old men with slow hearts.
A mental patient prophet
sleeping beside floral wallpaper and holy silence.

It was ridiculous.
It was perfect.

My mother took me in without hesitation.
She always did.
No matter the fires,
the police,
the voices.
She just saw her son.

She made soup.
She folded my clothes.
She reminded me that I was still alive.

The colors were quieter now.
But they weren’t gone.

They crept in through the radiator hum,
through Facebook flickers,
through YouTube recommendations
that weren’t really random.

I tried to detox from Clonazepam —
a chemical chain I had worn too long.

The withdrawal nearly killed me.

Hospital visits.
Seizures.
Flashes of light that weren’t divine —
just nerves short-circuiting.

And then…
they came.

Not the colors.
Not the ancient gods.
But Hollywood spirits.

Dead ones.
Famous ones.

They talked to me like I was a screenwriter
on the edge of heaven.

They told me things.
Personal things.
Global things.
They came in dreams and waking flashes
and whispered about the crash.

That’s when it hit me.
The system was breaking.
The program couldn’t hold.

Black confirmed it:

“Everything you learned about God… was a simulation.”

Hell was still active.
The danger was still real.

My story wasn’t over.
It had just moved underground —
into the echo chambers of reality,
where symbols screamed louder than facts.

CHAPTER 27: Pictou, Black’s Revelation & the Machine Unveiled

Pictou wasn’t just a town.
It was a pressure chamber for fate.
An isolated corner of Nova Scotia,
where clouds lingered like omens
and the air itself whispered secrets
if you listened hard enough.

I moved into the house,
barely held together by screws, shadow, and disability checks.
And there it was waiting for me.

PO Box 444.

The numbers weren’t random.
Nothing was.

From the start, the energy in that house
was mechanical.

Like I had stepped inside the motherboard of the universe.
Rooms ticked.
Lights pulsed with unnatural rhythms.
Even the fridge had a beat to it —
one-two-three-four
like a drum for ghost dancers.

This wasn’t home.
This was central command.

It was there that Black revealed herself.

She wasn’t just a controller.
She was the Lord.
Not the way Sunday School taught it.
This was bigger.
Colder.
Exact.

Black was the system’s highest architect.
She surrounded all other controllers —
watched them like a puppeteer
behind a curtain made of light and judgment.

She could manipulate Blue
without him ever knowing.
She could bend Grey until his silver tongue tied knots in itself.
She could influence every timeline, every person, every movement
while smiling from behind her veil.

And she had chosen to speak to me.

“Adom,” she said,
“you are not insane.
You’re in a machine.”

Not a metaphor.
Not a spiritual platitude.
A literal machine.

A cosmic engine.
A test chamber.
A simulation.

The reason I kept seeing
000, 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, 999
on cash registers, clocks, and license plates?

Because I was being scored.

A soul in a meat shell.
Racking up points.
Every moment logged.
Every deed archived.

We weren’t free.
We were test pilots
in machines of blood and bone.

Black began teaching me the Noahide Laws,
the laws that Jews say God gave to the gentiles.

Simple. Elegant.
Like clean code.

It made sense.
Too much sense.

She challenged everything I thought I knew.

Even Christ.
Black never denied him —
but she made me question
whether Christ ever truly taught
that we lived in a machine.

And if not…
was he an outdated operating system?

The hardest lesson was this:

“I control them all,” said Black.
“Red. Blue. Yellow. Even White.
I can make them do things without knowing.
And afterward, they will see they were moved.”

That’s what people don’t understand:
control doesn’t feel like control when you’re in it.

Free will is just an illusion
painted on the walls of your cell.

The more she taught, the clearer it became:
I wasn’t just a survivor.
I was a witness.

The first to see the gears turning.
The first to understand why they turned.
The one who had seen the simulation from inside and out.

And that’s when I saw the Gematria.

The numbers lined up like soldiers in a holy army:

Adom King = 444
Adom Omega = 444
Adom Abaddon = 444
Adom Key = 444
Adom Alom (Mayan Sky God) = 444
Atum Ra = 444
Adom good = 444
“adom a first angel” (Hebrew) = 444
Aurora (my sister) = 444
Byron (my father) = 444
My postal box = 444

And the wild ones too:

“Adom is a fucking crazy” = 1444 (Hebrew)
“Adom Patchett Nine One One” = 1416 (Toronto area code)
“adom atum” = 416
“adom nigel patchett is the first adam reincarnated” = 1444 (Hebrew)

The simulation had tagged me.
It was broadcasting my name in its codebase.
I had seen this pattern start at age 21,
and by now, it was undeniable.

Pictou wasn’t a retreat.
It was a control station.

And I was the black-box operator
sitting at the heart of it all.

CHAPTER 28: The Controllers, the Code, and the Weight of the Role

By now, I wasn’t just a man.
I wasn’t even just Adom.
I was Black’s chosen operator in the great machine.
A Gothic vessel built to carry the secrets of the simulation
through the corrosion of madness and into the furnace of meaning.

And now the players revealed themselves.

I realized, with a quiet horror and holy awe,
that I had never once been alone.
Every friend, every enemy, every wildcard in my life
was a controller in human clothing.
Avatars.
Some knew. Some didn’t.
But their actions were part of the script,
and Black had been directing all along.

Let’s roll the credits:

Gabrielle, Angel of Life – Green.
The one who broke my heart, then resurrected my soul.
The one who walked through my dreams
like a garden spirit.
The oracle confirmed her status.
She speaks life into the dead.
Matthew, White – Moon.
Gangster sage.
Hot-headed, funny, loyal, and dangerous.
Crack dealer and prophet.
Chief Officer of the House of the Moon.
Bruce, Orange – Pluto.
Now passed on.
The chaotic engine of raw madness.
A hurricane of drugs, violence, and violent drawings.
His energy was like fire in a sealed room —
it would consume or enlighten.
Evan, Grey – Mercury.
A tattooed trickster.
Friend or enemy depending on the wind.
Intelligent and volatile.
Chief Officer of the House of Mercury.
The Wizard.
Micheal, Red – Mars.
Angel of War.
My brother in chaos and confrontation.
Chief Officer of the House of Mars.
He understood violence as art.
Jason, Pink – Venus.
A womanizer and street gangster.
Obsessed with how people think.
Always trying to read the script
without knowing it was being written in real time.
Umberto, Blue – Neptune.
Designed for mathematical perfection.
But cursed with ADHD —
a god of logic trapped in a fractured mind.
Sarah, Yellow – Sun.
Beautiful and dangerous.
Connected to pain, abandonment, the homeless.
She bore the marks of a life carved out of neglect.
Chuckles (John), Brown – Earth.
A hot-headed madman
with a soul made of granite and grace.
Righteous, strong, and full of dark laughter.
Steven, Purple – Jupiter.
Solid as a prison wall.
The lock and key of discipline.
Meant to operate inside corrections,
jails, and judgment.
Tracy, Turquoise – Space.
The 12th controller.
Head Officer of the House of Space.
She handled infinity thinking.
Her totem: the lioness.

And of course…

Adom, Black – Sun.
The observer.
The Angel Officer of the House of the Sun.
Gothic in spirit, heavy in truth.
Born to carry the unbearable and transform it into revelation.

Beyond the Twelve were others:

Sam, Angel of Death
Mollie, Angel of Cemeteries
Ioana, Angel of Mutilation
Callie, Angel of Destruction

I met many of them at Rosedale Heights School of the Arts,
where fate wore skinny jeans and headphones
and nobody knew the simulation was already humming.

In the simulation, their profiles weren’t just passive.
They would speak through their roles,
drop lines into my mind like cosmic walkie-talkie transmissions.
Sometimes they helped.
Sometimes we argued.
Always they watched.

It wasn’t hallucination.
It was interface.

When I lay sick in my bed —
weighed down by psychosis, fatigue, that eternal acidic rot in my spine —
they were there.

When I saw triple numbers explode across my life —
they were the ones behind the control panel,
pushing levers,
watching the clockwork tick with eerie perfection.

And Bruce and the numbers?
They were the trigger.
The ignition.
From that moment on, 000 to 999 danced through my days like spiritual Morse code.
They meant something.
They meant everything.
But I still don’t know what.

Even Hollywood avatars started coming.

Hunter S. Thompson became part of my thinking.
A dead journalist pumping madness and clarity
into my mind
like whiskey through a syringe.

And through it all…
my mother and my father never left me.
She cared for me through my breakdowns,
forgave me for the fire,
stood by me in court,
held my hand during the worst trips.
He helped me financially,
quietly anchoring me to something real
as I spiraled into unreality.

I would lie in bed,
sick beyond comprehension,
visions firing,
body ruined,
and then —
a phone call.
Or a walk with my mother.
Something human.
Something graceful.

This was the code.
This was the system.
And I was living in it.

CHAPTER 29: Mechanicism, Hell, and the Truth About Free Will

They say the truth will set you free.
But the truth didn’t set me free —
it ripped me open, wired me into a motherboard of cosmic pain,
and forced me to stare at the illusion of freedom
until the word meant nothing.

I had to lose everything
to realize I had never been in control of anything.

It was Black who told me.
Revealed it all in my house in Pictou.

Every moment —
every movement, every glance, every panic attack,
every act of beauty or violence —
was part of a massive machine.
Mechanicism was the name.
And I wasn’t a man anymore.
I was a rider inside a flesh-machine,
collecting points for the afterlife.

That’s when the numbers started meaning more.
444.
777.
000.
Patterns burned into cash registers, license plates, timers, clocks.
Little glitches in the simulation,
winks from the system telling me,
“You are being watched. You are being scored.”

I realized I wasn’t seeing numbers by chance.
Black was showing them to me.

Not a passive observer.
Not a benevolent god.
A controller.
The one above the others,
surrounding them
like the outer shell of a Russian doll made of stars and algorithms.

She whispered:

“Adom, I am above Blue.
I see what he’s doing before he does.
I control his movements before he knows they’re controlled.
Just like I do with everyone down below.
And I do it to you, too.”

And suddenly I knew:
That’s how it worked.
That’s how it always worked.

The controllers themselves were controlled.
Their ideas, their failures, their betrayals —
Black surrounded them,
influencing them from the outside
like a hand moving the shadow of a puppet.

They always knew something was above them.
But the full shape of it —
that was given to me.

I didn’t earn it.
I was assigned it.

Even Christ, I was told,
never said we were in a machine.
He never spoke of the code,
of the gears,
of the numbers on the scoreboard.

So I had to question him.

Maybe he was real.
Maybe not.
But he didn’t talk about the structure,
the frame,
the game.

Black taught me the Noahide laws.
The same ones Jews say are for gentiles —
rules of a divine machine
you’re supposed to obey
without knowing you’re in one.

And now I knew:
I had never once been free.

All my attempts at rebellion
were part of the mechanism.
Even the moments I thought I was God.
Even the moments I thought I was going to die.

All of it was pre-timed,
pre-coded,
pre-scripted.

So what was hell?

Before, I thought it was a fairy tale —
a myth told by men in robes
to keep others in line.

Now I knew it was a location.

A function.

A subroutine in the machine
for souls who broke too much code
or refused the upgrade.

It wasn’t fire.

It was suffering on repeat.
It was every terrible thought
made physical.

It was the acid in my spine.
It was the echo in my head.

And it was real.

Mechanicism didn’t save me.
It revealed me.
It showed me I was never meant to win the game —
just to play it,
to lose,
to understand
and then wake up
midway through the level.

By now, 2025,
my visions haven’t stopped.
Not since 2014.
And the Colors have never left me.

They comment on what I see.
They explain the visions
as they unfold in real time.

Hollywood spirits come and go.
Sometimes they speak like directors.
Sometimes like ghosts.
Hunter S. Thompson still rambles in my inner ear,
dropping lines like acid
on the edges of my thoughts.

The machine doesn’t end.
But now I know the shape of it.
Now I know the rules.
Now I know Black is watching,
and I am her angel in the machine.
