九月十五日,一个用户名为「普通公民4937」的账号在微博上被创建,随即便发了一条微博:「我将在十月一日绝食一天。」然后这个账号又显然胡乱地关注了一大批账号,直到操作受限。
起初,完全没人注意到这个账户和那条微博,直到某几个被关注者突然想要看看这个头像为一根油条和一根香蕉的新关注者的时间线时,变化也就随之而开始了,因为其中几个账号背后的用户似乎从这条简短的微博中感受到了某种情绪并在该情绪的影响下决定转发它,甚至还有一个账号表达了将会采取同样行动的做法,他转发并评论:「我也来。」

最近忙于工作或者说赚钱,而且似乎也有了女朋友,就失去了一些用于写故事的时间。偶尔在有时间写故事时,却又看着文件夹里几十篇写了部分的残篇,不知从何入手,去继续哪个故事。犹豫之下,最后又创建了一个新文件,开启了一个新的残篇。
人生似乎就要这样循环往复下去了,就像无可救药的怀疑世界疾病,倘使把自己看作世界的一部分而一并怀疑了,就再也无法回头了;因为即使有言之有理、符合逻辑的道理来劝告时,劝告之人也会遭受同样的怀疑。
但好在我还没有患上无可救药的怀疑世界疾病,只是在循环往复与时间的演进中被磨灭意志而已。当然现在我还是颇为担忧的,但我也知道等到那意志被消磨到足够程度时,我就再也不会为此疑虑了,我就会向那些曾经的好友一样,向着金钱及其所代表的一切义无反顾了。
说到金钱,我忽然想起一件往事来。
甲: How do you think about the world?
A: It's fucked!
甲: How about you?
B: It's fucked!
甲: And you?
C: It's fucked!
甲: Your opinion?
D: It's fucked!
甲: Your thoughts?
E: It's fucked!
甲: Do you have any different thoughts?
F: No, it's fucked!
甲: And you think so?
G: Yes, it's fucked!
甲: You?
H: It's fucked!
甲: You too?
I: It's fucked!
甲: I guess I've already known what you would say.
J: It's fucked!
甲: Of course, you must think the same way.
K: It's definitely fucked!
甲: I know, everyone has been in a rough time recently, the virus, the pandemic, the economy, the chaos, and the always politics, but is there any different thoughts other than it's fucked?
L: No, at least I don't have any. It's fucked for sure.
甲: OK, maybe I asked the wrong question. Do you think is there any POSITIVE ... things in the world?
M: The fucked world? No.
甲: Fine, that's really discouraging. Let's interview a child. The world in the eyes of a child is always better than that of an adult. Hey, young man, do you love the wonderful world?
N: No, I don't love the f**ed world, and FYI I am a girl.
甲: I'm sorry. I didn't expect that. What's wrong with these people?
O: The reason is simple: the world is fucked.
甲: But why do you think so? Can you show me a specific example?
P: What you are looking at is the exact example of the fucked world.
甲: When I was a child, I loved and appreciated everything I had and everyone I met. They were great and I thought they must sacrifice something to be here for me. Then I grew up, involuntarily and un-self-awarely, like an orange with scars that can't avoid rotting. I became one of the mediocre, an ordinary man, a piece of shit. I saw no future for myself. I just lived every day even without realizing I was getting older. But I knew, some parts of me were dying and when they died, they died forever. I became increasingly numb and no stories or news can touch me anymore. I don't even care if the world is going to end anymore or maybe I can say I even wish that happen. In the past, I always thought that it was my problem, but now I think I got another reason...
Q: The world is fucked.
甲: Yes, some people are fucking the world. With their fuckingism, they are torturing other people and themselves by trying to build their own version of a perfect world.
R: The fucked world.
甲: Yes, nobody succeeded. I wonder if there will be anyone who succeeds. They simply fucked the world and made it increasingly unsuitable for modern kids, because when they grow up they tend to fuck the world even further. They are educated to do so.
S: The fucked world is hopeless.
甲: When someone says hope, they are lying. And the reason ... mostly money. They want your fucking money and you want theirs so you can buy a better fucking dumb smartphone. And the interview? It also just for money, nothing else. I don't care about the truth if there is anyone. All things are relative now.
T: A symptom of the world being fucked.
甲: Yes, a symptom. But what is the disease? Is it the lagging of human wisdom behind the development of technologies? Is it the barbarism that still plagues human beings? Will humans evolve to a better version after the current shit? I don't know. I think it will happen. Humans will be better eventually, but it still can't change the fact that I am living in shit. You know what lives in a shit, maggots. There are so many maggots. They eat shit and shit more shit.
U: It's a tragedy for us to be here in this time when the world is fucked so hard that everyone feels pain in the ass.
甲: The world is composed of every single one of us. The world is fucked, so are we.
V: It's fucked! FUCK!
甲: FUCK!
W: You said just I want to say about the fucked world.
甲: It doesn't matter anymore, right? We won't do anything to improve the fucked world. We'll just wait until the world changes itself somehow. Or maybe, the future generations will transform it actively, though none of them will be my descendant. I won't have kids. I don't deserve them.
X: Kids don't fit the fucked world.
甲: But they will adapt. They always adapt. Or they kill themselves. Either way, things keep going.
Y: A keep-going on fucked world is still a fucked world.
甲: True, and the pointless interview should stop now. It seems you haven't said anything yet. Any last comment about the world?
Z: It's fucked.
甲: In conclusion, the world is fucked.
