Transmission Zero

Night falls and Creepsylvanians everywhere switch on their tele-screens in hopes of indulging in an evening of state-sanctioned inanity.

Expanding lumps of torpid flesh

Basking in the telescreens
Their eyeballs pulse and glow
Bulging from their sockets
As the hunger starts to grow

Tune in next week and you're sure to know
Zero
