[ WP ] A strange virus has caused blindness in all humans over a two week period . You are immune , but have n't told anyone .

I mean, I'd tell people, but then they'd just want me to *do* shit. 
 
 Okay, I'd probably better explain. To who, I have no idea, since nobody can fucking read. Whatever. Let's make this a letter to me. Dear me: remember when everyone went blind because of that stupid virus? 
 
 At first it was not so bad, people thought you had to eat at Chipotle to get it and all it did was make you puke and shit your brains out for a while. Then about a year later those same puke-and-shitters started going blind. That's when people started to panic. Then Chipotle went out of business. Then people figured out it was n't even Chipotle to begin with. Something in the water supply. Too late. Everyone got it. 
 
 Things slowed down real fast. Airports closed, then nobody was driving anywhere. People walking into stores and just taking food, what they could figure out was food. We saw our neighbor down at the corner shop trying to eat a bag of cat chow, not sure what she thought it was. That was before Mom went blind. 
 
 Look, I did n't ask for any of this shit to happen. I mean nobody did, but all I wanted was to sit in my room playing Xbox like I've always done. I do n't ask much out of life. Was n't popular in school and not smart enough for college. Things after high school smoothed out okay. Mom had her social security check to live on and we did okay. I spent most nights and afternoons sitting in my room playing Xbox on the 32-inch plasma I bought by saving up from my job at the corner shop. Then after the virus I did n't even have to go to work anymore which was fine by me, those people suck. And since I knew I'd not be able to play games pretty soon, I stayed in my room and played. I wanted to finish Far Cry 6, at least. 
 
 And I did. So I started on the new Assassin's Creed. And finished it. 
 
 And I started Dark Souls 4, which I'd been putting off since last year. 
 
 And I finished it. 
 
 By then I knew something was happening. 
 
 Or at least, something *wasn't* happening. 
 
 Look, I'm not a fucking asshole, I still made sure Mom had food every day, and I made sure the house was protected -- things started getting shitty outside by then. The clumsiest fucking gangs of raiders were roaming around by then, but they were easy to stay ahead of. A few boards over the windows, lock the doors, stay quiet. You know what it's like to face off with a group of angry blind looters? It's fucking retarded easy. 
 
 I think the only thing I really did wrong was I did n't tell Mom I could still see. 
 
 I think she's starting to suspect, though. She keeps feeling her way down the hallway to my room and hearing sounds from the game through the door. `` What's that?'' she yells. 
 
 `` It's just one of my games,'' I say back. `` I just put it on for noise, I like the sounds.'' 
 
 `` VICTORY! BOSS DEFEATED!'' goes the game. I do n't think Mom knows what it means, but I think she's starting to suspect. 
 
 Something will change soon. I already went down to Best Buy and took all the games from the Xbox section. I'll run out of new ones to play within another three months or so, they're not making any more new ones. After that I'll play through some of the ones I liked again. But after that? 
 
 I'll probably have to tell somebody. Starting with Mom. And she'll probably tell other people. Word will get around. 
 
 And then people will want me to *do* shit. 
 
 Why does all the bad stuff happen to me?
