You press Pause to use the restroom.

Upon returning, you put on your VRES, hit Play, and expand the minimized Simulation frame into Full-Immersion mode. Something catches your attention. When in Full-Immersion mode, there's now an icon giving you the option to zoom out from Logan's perspective, and view a predetermined amount of space around his present location-called God's Eye View (GEV)

You see Logan is searching for clothes. With about as much success as finding a clean billionaire in a gangbang blood orgy.

This might be a while.

Truman Camera turns on and the visual transitions to give you God's Eye of View.

Beginning in front of Logan’s house, your view proceeds off the sidewalk, and to the right. The camera goes to a street view, panning left then right as its perspective pulls you forward through the street.

Of the five houses you pass, you see...

...blood smeared across one front window; banging coming from another house’s garage.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Side window shattering as a crying person jumps through glass shards; not far behind, an oddly swaying sibling crawling over, gripping glass stalactite for support, without noticing.

God's Eye puts you in the first person perspective of a person with soft hands and a scream that'd make any soprano salivate with envy. You and your Simulan stand approximately four front doors from Logan's house.

Someone's walking up the street, coming directly at you. You recognize him (your Simulan host screams louder); he is the same man that was recently seizing on the ground and mumbling madly about brains.

Abruptly, the camera goes aerial and speeds toward Logan’s house, stopping at the intersection that leads into his neighborhood. There, crossing the intersection, you see a wounded young lady with a very graphic limp. Her right foot steps forward, she jerks and drags her left shin across the pavement, leaving scraps of shedded skin as well as over-animated blood in her wake.

You recall that the producers had to apply a filter to the series’ gore only eight episodes into last season. Now blood and graphic violence almost always looked like something from one of Earth V.22’s highly stylized anime masterpieces.

Same wounded woman’s head is also gashed open. She is nearing Logan’s front porch, and it’s at this moment Truman shifts back into Shadow-View.

You get the fuck out of God's Eyes and jump back behind Logan's.
