A Spoken-Word Descent into Digital Dread
What happens when folklore uploads itself? When the Bad Man stops lurking in alleys and starts glitching through your feed? This isn’t just horror—it’s a remix of myth, noir, and cybernetic paranoia. Echo in Your Avatar is a spoken-word cipher for the age of surveillance and soul-streaming. A rhythm of dread. A beat that bites back.
Echo in Your Avatar
He’s the echo in your avatar, The lag in your swagger, the ghost in your radar. He’s the typo in your DNA strand, The spam in your soul, the glitch in your brand.
He’s the autofill that knows too much, The DM that hits with a phantom touch. He’s the filter that warps your face at night, The shadow that scrolls when you swipe right.
He’s the unread message that breathes, The captcha that bleeds, The livestream freeze when your heart deceives.
He’s the algorithm’s bad dream, The code that crawls upstream. He’s the remix of your scream— Looped, chopped, and stitched into meme.
He’s the echo in your avatar, But he don’t just haunt—he archives who you are. Turns your likes into prophecy, Your selfies into odyssey, Your silence into currency.
So when your screen flickers and the lights go low, And your playlist plays a track you don’t know— That’s him.
The Feed Never Sleeps
You’ve met the Bad Man. Not in flesh—but in fragments. In the lag between your thoughts. In the echo that loops when you scroll too deep.
But this is just one cipher in the archive. Mind On Fire is full of haunted code, folklore gone feral, and stories that bleed between genres.
If Echo in Your Avatar sparked something— a glitch, a chill, a question— then follow the trail:
