However, thanks to the Ockuliuns inventing an envisage helmet - Envo for short - I decided to pulled it over my head, blink, and was inside its virtual reality in seconds flat. I had hoped I could clear my head and conjure up something, anything, to write. Well, Envo was definitely a cure to that. Little did I know Envo's programs partook me into nightmares depicting bouncing cyclopean clown faces and spiders with upside down gnomes faces!
