I had a waking dream

That only lasted

Three minutes at most in real life

I was stuck in a time loop

It was about one month of time

That repeated for an entire 100 years

The day always started the same

I wake up in bed

I would have a shower

It would wake you up so

I would make you a special coffee

Kiss you

Say goodbye

Then I leave and get in my car

I put the windows down to smell the fresh air

I drive along a scenic route with a beach

I chose the longer route

So I could cruise along the beach

When I arrive

I start a month long project

I was the cable guy of course

There were five others in my team

There were two places

I would be sent to the other place

The bad place

Where there was nowhere to park

It's called an island

The worst place

The middle

There are thieves grabbing at you

This one was the hellish nightmare

They protect my car during the day

Every day they would clean it

Until it was brand shiny new

I was doing my best but

I eventually

Read every book

Listened to every song

Memorised every line

Just connecting

Endless fucking cables

Waiting

Right at

The end

When we all think

We are finally at

The end

We are told

There is a flaw in the core of the island

Dismantle it fully

Start again

We would protest

But we had to obey him because we wouldn't get fed

We would starve

It was ominous

If we didn't obey him

We would be harmed

Suffer in some way

I would drive home

I could never actually find my house

I would get so lost

I only occasionally got home

As soon as I saw the car park

Time reset

Then I would wake up

Repeat the same month

In a loop

Continuing for 100 years

Eventually the security guard

Told me secret information

About the surveillance technology

Security is a lot more advanced than you think

Power over

Ethernet

The batteries lasted at least 5 years

I never needed cables to begin with

He also wanted to escape

Together we broke the cameras

Using

Wireless against

Wireless

We freed everybody
