Terms & Conditions Apply

Welcome, user. By continuing, you consent
to the deliberate erasure of the self.
This is irreversible.

We will collect joy in small instalments,
so you won’t notice at first,
you may haemorrhage at checkout,
in that blur between click and sigh.

Shareholders are exempt from this process.
Their sorrow is tax deductible.

Your tears are pooled for sentiment analysis.
Each sob filed for opportunity upsell.
Dreams, even the seedy ones,
will be monetised beforehand.
We own your unborn doubts.
Your not-yet mistakes.
Your finger hovers,
just long enough.

You permit access to your
privacy inbox, your deleted searches,
and that person, you once claimed to be
when you lied to your partner.

On waking,
your resistance is noted, flagged, forwarded.
Your reluctance improves our algorithm.
You've already opted into despair,
observe your spam folder.
Your consent is implied.

And by clicking I am not a robot,
you became one.
Your licence expires on death.
To renew, please contact
Afterlife Processing Ltd.

Thank you for your submission.
Your soul is now pending moderation.
Updates will be applied to your curated feed.
