It's like one of those old films.

The black and white ones. The ones before they had sound. Or, if there was sound, the sound was muted.

The film is supposed to be telling a story, but you don't know what's happening. Or, if you do, you don't care.

You don't care if the hero catches the thieves. You don't care if the leading man gets the beautiful girl. You don't care if the soldiers win the war. They're merely images, slowly moving by.

The film finally comes to an end. The thieves have been thrown into prison, the man has kissed the girl, victory has been won. Or so you guess, anyway. Doesn't matter, don't care.

The credits roll.

The screen turns grey/fuzzy.

Static.
