Metaphors evolve with technology.

Just because you’ve burned some bridges doesn’t mean you can’t send a couple texts across that (ever-expanding) gulf.

Maybe we don’t think in terms of bridges anymore.

Maybe we think in terms of electronic reality.

Curiously enough, when I envision a burning bridge, the image in my mind is from Chrono Trigger on Super Nintendo.

That’s me. Just a game being played.

I’m bound to get boring.

Eject me.

Play another one.

Reset and jack up the difficulty.

It can be every bit as fun, but you’re going to need to step up your game.
