Simon was looking with excitement at his mobile phone.

"Alright, alright, alright. Let's see what do we got here. Huh, this one has so many muscles. Dude, that's too much bara shit there. Calm down, jeez. Oh, this one's nice: got a pretty pink hair, and a fluffy tail. Wouldn't mind to bite a piece of him, actually. This one is boring. I mean look at him: all emotional and stuff. And this one... well someone likes to exaggerate with the sizes! How many legs do you have?" - he looked closer. - "Oh, ok I got it. Haha! Alright, next. Awww, that's so cute. It's a gift from the artist, how lovely. Alrighty then, Charlie should definitely see this, and realize that he will never have such "wonderful" friend. So, copy and leave a shout. Done. Moving on... Wha... Oh. My. God. Literally OMFG!!! Just look at this incredibly, unbelievably super cute guy! Mother nature can make some real miracles! Wow! I bet Charlie will desperately want to be friends with him. But then this guy will ignore him, and Charlie will get moody again. Minus 100 to self-esteem, plus 200 to depression. Excellent! Oh, I gotta see this."

Simon's commotion vanished, as he heard someone behind him. His ears turned to the source of the sound. After a short pause, he spoke without looking behind: "You know, you are wasting your time. I'm not falling for this twice."

There was a silence in response.

"Persistent, aren't you? You're nothing, but a hallucination of mine. So be a good illusion, and get the hell out of my head!"

There was a silence in response.

"Wasn't I clear enough? Shut up, and disappear, right now!" - Simon squeezed his smartphone.

There was a silence in response.

"I said get out of my head!!!" - Simon shouted. With a single move, he turned around and threw his phone at the empty space. The phone landed on the ground, and crashed into pieces. Simon was breathing heavily, while glaring into the void. There was no one around, but the silence was not the same anymore.
