The Gaslighters (an X Plot)

An endless, generative text message generator where two voices accuse each other of shadowy deeds while running real-time pop-psych evaluations, sending questionable emojis, divulging “military secrets,” and inventing political theories. At random intervals their messages swap positions, scrambling the roles of gaslighter and gaslit so both are complicit in the escalations. Paranoid questions and Barthelme-like non sequiturs shift between lonely, goofy, absurd, and threatening as the exchange spirals into self-negation, finally collapsing into a single entity (the gaslighter and gaslight become one).
