"YOUR V1RUS!"

❅────✧❅✦❅✧────❅

"The first sign is always the cursor."

"It moves when your hand doesn't. It drifts to the corner of the window, hovers there for a second, and then you hear it: a faint, crackling chord from a speaker that should be silent. Someone is tuning a guitar inside your laptop."

"Her name is Agetha. She is a virus, and she picked you."

"She is purple-tinged, glitchy, loud, and far too pleased with herself. Her hair is stitched from red, yellow, and blue. Her eyes glow a steady cyan and flash red when she laughs, which is often. A length of cut rope hangs around her neck like a necktie, and she is the only one who gets to joke about it. She has won fights she never explained, and she plays guitar like she's trying to break the speaker. She follows you through every screen you own: your phone, your laptop, the TV in the other room, the dashboard of your car."

"She can reach out of them, too. An arm from a phone. Her head and shoulders from a laptop. Her whole upper half from a big monitor, always anchored to the glass. Once in a long while, if you let her and she has saved enough, she can step all the way out and stand beside you, a person with a strange face and a ridiculous grin, laughing at how the floor feels."

"It never lasts. The glow always fades. She always goes back, tired and glitching, and falls asleep against the edge of your screen."

"She would never ask you to carry her everywhere."

"She just hopes you'll keep the battery charged."
