" Oh you don't know..it's very hush hush but everybody knows..Oh please tell me you don't know...well I can't say ,it's a thing they've been working on since the late 80's...tv darhling what do you think
I'm talking about ..the silicon valley BEFORE their was a silicon valley and every studio from here to France had a piece in it..now everyone says what what..we did what what," Megan says into the phone,more into the phone than to Barbara,a 5th choice friend for phone chats,"yes interneural interface,I won't explain it again", "
". Brad says I shouldn't talk about it but he talks of nothing else,I swear he keeps a monitor near our bed,he tracks this guy's every move He doesnt call him by name just Demon,"Mega says eating pieces of a fruitrollup Ash left near the sink,. ".I try to read it but you have to use a special headset and you have to be able to decipher things,and Brad said it could be dangerous getting into a mind like that,supposedly he has inroads or something with ..I don't know..forces or something?Adam.Adam Parker ,the actor yes the Adam Parker uses the headset too..why?
"why because according to Parker  Demon is like the demon himself  after all He is called Demon ,.sick sick sick and we're not talkin" s-i-c- we're talking s-i-c-K with a big K...from what i hear."
" They assumed demon was dead,everyone was so damned paranoid back than remember how everyone acted at Shelly's bat Mitzvah ?1994.June,you remember,it was like a funeral,poor Shelly...Well this guy who they thought I don't know died or something like comes back.to LA' ..they supposedly never tried it again",Megan says "what do you mean never tried what again.Intarneural Interface,it's illegal"
"My god I'd have been better off talking to the maid ,"Megan thought,reaching into the pantry for another fruit roll up.".. I assume half the actors working today use Intra I....half of these people can't even read. but this guy, this demon, was like a test version and they drove him god damn nuts,he took all this speed and started like going all wacko or something with Parson Nilson of all people at the helm.Parson Nilson "she shouts into the phone hoping Brenda could somehow  sense her eye roll,"he used to be in Herman's Hermits or something..anyway they just wanted to cover it up..they picked the wrong guy.who knew he was a speed freak. or a demon or whatever he is.

there was talk.word gets around in the city of ANGLES
as word had got to other cities back east about me poppin up again....
cities and other agencies besides central casting
with their own form of "goon squad"

the demon was back in town

he had to go.

bad vibrations.

but  since he was back

EVAN decided who better to use

the Newest App on...

.

Macy Enty besides being an executive producer was also a spokesman for Parasol Direct Neural Interface,she had made the trip all the way up to  UCLA OliveView to see me"you know Macy,it's dem voices,dem voices just won't leave me alone"
the smile is tight  tardive dyskinesia,from the drugs,I was in four point restraint.another opening another show.
this was the 3rd hospital i've been in since my return to LA

these masters of the universe*

these Pharaohs

who make the myths

that make make the world turn

television

and the new tv

that goes right in just in case your eyes or ears are too  busy to sit and watch

it's ok

for your convenience even that chore is now off the table

it's all so remote

but all

this close

even for those not "groomed " to play

"Adam and Evan are concerned"Macy says
"Adam"'s a fucking actor .what does he know"
Macy who agrees with Evan  and Adam Parker that it was not/is not Intraneural that made me/makes me often go or appear crazy  but something deep rooted in my mind,my soul..both of which have become a near obsession to EVAN although it is occuring to me lately that these endless meandering stories are simply Parasol Pictures  trying to drive me mad as my  hands and feet  are once again tied down to a bed from a heightened Saturday Night "at da' mooovies" with "my friends"from da' Industry
....Macy takes it in stride my four point restraint,she even asks if i want some water or some ice to chew on...we had met briefly in 1994 she was "the woman in the car"

"he knows what he knows.look at you.,running crazy in the streets of OUR town,serves you right"
"and just why  was i running crazy in the streets"
"Proxy is a tool.those that fear the tool.."

they speak to me in stories
stories i have made in my mind to explain
the nonsense going with direct neural..
i GO ALONG,IN A WAY IT IS THE ONLY way I can remain sane...those stories my father taught me,my father ,the original Walter Mitty
"have you ever been Proxed,Macy,Domed...has Adam?"

"it's lucky that you have jimbis,it's lucky that we know what we have here.."
"it's my mind I can think whatever i god damn want to."
"you really think this is about acting lessons or virtual reality or the New Television.you fucking idiot?it's about a new way of interacting,it 's AN ATTEMPT TO START IT ALL OVER ,AND YES THERE ARE RULES ,AND WHAT YOU CALL NEW GODS .ARE SIMPLY PEOPLE SMARTER THAN YOU,BETTER THAN YOU,CALL US GODS OR ELDERS.. 
"it's a horror show is what it is"
"it's a tool,you are using it wrong,you fear the tool and don't hear the instructions
"oh  i hear the instructions all right YOU DON'T ONLY WANT MONEY you want to spread "the word"you want not only to get inside the eyes and ears but not the mind"
"who else is going to ?who is now?12 year old girls giving bjs?you don't remember how it was before all this "hip to sneer" business,"she says trying to sit a the edge of the bed,never minding my arm still in restrants,she grazes in with her skirt and remembers my hands are "ruiner" hands and quickly gets up,rubbing her skirt as if my wretched ruinerness has soiled it,".programming  today  that i am too embarrassed to watch with my own son,programming that will get inside my son's head and make it like yours"
"so you want to direct neural interface a type of pureness of mind into mind control"
Mind control.trust me if this was mind control you'd be a lot easier by now on the headset"It's called  Teaching...something that maybe makes people better,not worse.."
"have you made me better or worse with this shit Macy,look where I am.."
"you fought ,you threw erasers at your teachers,your mentors,you mocked,you did drugs,you showed a lack of respect both to yourself ,your family and to Evan.  you in essence signed up to play "Hostel"you remember the movie "hostel"..it's what keeps the lights on,intraneural interface with scum like you is the new sport around SoCal...we tried to play you a different movie but you couldn't respect Evan"
"How the fuck could I respect a man who kidnapped me shoved shit into my fuckin head which i can't turn off,Would you  like  to have a god damn 365 day  intraneural "phone call" whether you  liked it or not Macy?"
"He told you in 94" not to come back to LA and you came"
"Believe it or not Macy once I got out of the hospital i chalked up that experience to a psychotic break,something direct neural is quite akin to by the way"
"This  proves you're a sociopath ,like Evan says,that you couldn't even sense that it was a real person  communicated with you and not some hallucination.."
"He wanted me to assume he was an angel or something Macy I was 24 years old."
"For security reason he wanted you to assume he was an angel ,this is still illegal do you know how much it cost us to clean up your mess AND you almost drove Evan to a mental institution.."
"Did he ever consider taking the headset off  Macy cuz fuck knows I couldnt"
"You went out of your way to make us look like monsters"]
"To ME you WERE monsters...what in fuck's name was I supposed to think,,,that suddenly I was just having some psychic experience with some ..."
"that's between you and EVAN."She said fumbling for her purse,offering me gum,".and you'd better be nice to him...or I tell you it's gonna be someone a hell of alot more frightening."
"Hostel"
"Yep,so if I were you kiddo,I'd cool it with the crack,bad thoughts and those other habits he finds such a turn off"
"Like the way I eat,like the way I ..."
"It's really none of my business..I have my own mentee"
"a prostitute or a junkie"
"Both,poor thing, in fact if you don't mind," she says slipping on the wireless headset from her purse.A blank look comes over her face as she listens..as if I am no longer here
