Live Cam Bombing

Welcome to 2025, baby.


“What are you watching?”
“What channel?” 



BREAKING: Fresh strike.
 New upload.
No makeup exam tomorrow. 

(No makeup, no make-up at all. From dusk till dawn, we lock our brutal hearts)



It’s ****, you know? Just— with missiles. 


Everyone’s watching. 

The whole world. 

All eyes, all ears.

Everyone has their version, their angle, their frame. 

Each one making sense of senseless sparks.
Eyes wide. Mouths open.


But no one’s coming. No ******. Just the climb. That’s why they watch. It’s a kink.
A ******-catharsis. An ****** made of fire. And pixels. And ruin.
A genocide.

******-catharsis: not the release of pleasure
(not touch, not love but the pleasure of control, of watching ruin without risk),

but of tension. 

A scream without sound. 
The illusion that, for one explosive second,


chaos has meaning.
