Pan in on Alex asleep in his living room, he hasn't cleaned for weeks and even the mess on the ground–exemplifying the current state of his life.
He wakes up in late afternoon, with his distinctive frown, ready to mentally battle another day.
Alex checks his phone to see if maybe there's some good news for him, but once again he’s not so lucky. Zero calls, zero text messages, no one hitting him up for dope, and his bank account is near zero. Ever since the dark web made purchasing drugs online quick and easy, Alex has struggled to maintain a vibrant cash flow through his dealings. Maybe it’s time Alex gave in and checked out his competitor…
While snooping the dark web, a mysterious but promising ad comes up for a new social network, PsychoSphere. PsychoSphere claims to line his pockets with cash by brining in new customers. Not only that, the network promises to "get his life in order." He has to check it out.
Alex creates a main account...but what’s this? PsychoSphere lets users create sub accounts as well for sneakier dealing! To "corral" the echoing voices of paranoia in his head caused by schizophrenia, Alex decides to make a sub account for each voice. After the sub accounts are set up, he takes advantage of PsychoSpheres drug inventory feature on the sellers page to catalog his inventory.
With the onboarding complete, Alex begins to explore the world within PsychoSphere and the multiple ways it can boost his customer base and boost his bottom line. Coming across the map feature, Alex tries it out and locates three anonymous buyers in his area. PsychoSphere provides buyer stats based on their financial status, frequency of purchase/use, and risk level. The grandiose narcissist in him kicks into gear, and Alex dm's the potential buyer with the highest level of risk.
Alex prepares to send the buyer a list of his inventory. Upon hitting send, all the drug names are changed to symbols and emojis. Surprised and amped up by PsychoSphere's cryptography feature, Alex realizes that this feature alone will make him even more "bad *ss" than he already is.
Alex heads to the park and searches around, suddenly realizing he has no idea what this buyer looks like or who they are. Maybe PsychoSphere can help him again?
Picking his phone up, Alex comes across another PsychoSphere feature. Similar to a snapchat filter, it uses camera technology to filter out PsychoSphere members from the general population. Alex raises his phone and scans the park, seeing lots of gray figures he begins to think the buyer stood him up. Turning a little more, his phone still above him, a red figure appears amongst the grays–that's got to be his buyer!
Alex approaches him and gives a nod. the two men shake hands and part, the exchange of drugs and money unbeknownst to those around them.
Alex walks away feeling on top of the world. "With the help of PsychoSphere, I'm gonna be big," he thinks to himself. "I'm too sexy for my shirt, Too sexy for my shirt, So sexy it hurts" Alex's phone alarm goes off, playing his trademark song. He starts moving to the beat, feeling like "he's the man." Stopping cold in his tracks it occurs to him that's his medication alarm. He's later to take his meds. "They can wait" he thinks to himself, deciding to stop by and visit his Grandma before heading home to take his meds.
While enjoying quality time with his grandma over some fresh baked cookies, an overwhelming feeling rushes over him.
"Oh no, it’s happening again"
"You're Grandma called the police, they're coming to arrest you." Alex knows those echoing voices in his head are lies but he cannot control them. They begin to torture him, he doesn't know what to do or who to turn to. His Grandma is there, but can she really be trusted?
Desperate for help, Alex checks PsychoSphere, since it has yet to fail him. He sees a message from one of his personalities telling him to take his medication immediately.
He begins to run home as fast as he can….
...struggling to keep the echoing voices out of his head.
The second he walks in the door, Alex pops open his medication bottle and takes a few.
As quickly as he left the house, Alex is home again.
Or is it that he never left the house in the first place?
