By way of explanation: I am easily bored. This usually leads to me getting into trouble in real life. In my writing, however, I can explore avenues of storytelling and the only fallout from that is the eye-rolling exhaustion experienced by my readership (there’s so few of you that I’m not overly bothered by that). This current experiment is based on a simple story: a man on a breadline makes a daily habit of handing one particular woman his orange. The goal is to see how weird I can make the retelling of the story each week. Simple, right?

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL – O-Rx PROTOCOL 6.13
DO NOT DISCLOSE TO SUBJECTS, STABLES, OR EXTERNAL ASSETS.
If exposed to the contents of this bulletin, report for debriefing and dermal audit within 12 hrs.
🔶 PRODUCT NAME:
O-Rx (Peel-Modulator, Subdermal Fruit Complex)
Codename: The Orange Man
🔸 INDICATIONS:
O-Rx is indicated for use in environments suffering from:
- Ontological Dissonance
- Chrono-Loop Fatigue
- Pattern Starvation
- Breakage in Ritual Circuits
- Fruitless Longing
🔸 DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION:
One unit of O-Rx must be cultivated intradermally by a bonded donor subject (Designate: Peel-Originator). Extraction occurs via ritualized exfoliation—typically from forearm, shoulder blade, or subclavicular coil. The harvested unit will resemble:
- A tangerine
- A warm, humming egg
- A memory of a promise
- All of the above
The unit should be passed, without comment or acknowledgment, to the target subject (Designate: Hollow-Receiver).
This cycle must repeat for 73 iterations.
On the 74th, discontinue.
Do not observe what follows.
🔸 MECHANISM OF ACTION:
O-Rx is a self-replicating symbolic vector. Upon receipt, the “fruit” begins encoding its host at a conceptual level, replacing inert personality fragments with ritual software. The subject experiences mild euphoria, citrus hallucinations, and a sense of recursive purpose.
Note: The orange is not a food. Attempts to consume may result in involuntary flash-seeding.
🔸 ADVERSE EVENTS:
Common:
- Palmar fluorescence
- Dream-seepage
- Peripheral orchard hallucinations
Uncommon:
- Skin becoming rind
- Voice harmonizing with offworld fruit frequencies
- Temporal reflux
Rare:
- Germination
- Limb orchardization
- Direct communication from the Gardener (see Incident #GRDN-PR33N)
🔸 CASE STUDY SNAPSHOT:
Subject #HLLW-7
— Female-presenting, early 40s, appeared in the breadline system unprompted.
— Accepted O-Rx dosage daily without deviation.
— Exhibited expected transformation markers by Day 39 (Patch Growth, Hunger Shift).
— On Day 74, she initiated propagation: self-extracted unit and administered to unknown minor.
— Subject’s dermal reading: “YOU GIVE NOW.”
Line integrity restored. Cycle resumed. Orchard node confirmed.
🔸 STORAGE & HANDLING:
Keep out of direct causality. Store in cool, memory-sealed location. Do not expose to linguistic definition.
“The fruit is the messenger.
The hand is the garden.
The line is the root.
Pass it on.”
