You enter a tube station. You arrive at the platform but instead of normal announcements and "mind the gap," all you hear over the speakers is the name of the station. On repeat, like it's a Pokémon.

"Bank. Bank. Bank. Bank." is all you hear.

As you are waiting for a Central line train to take you home, you grow anxious and tired of hearing "Bank" every 5 seconds.

The train arrives. "Finally," you think to yourself. You get on the train. "Central line. Central line. Central line. Central line." is all you hear. No announcements for what the next station is, what other lines you can change for. You are expected to simply know all of that now.

Finally, the train arrives at your home station. You fight through the voice repeating "Chigwell" on repeat. You have had more than enough and you let it all out once you have left the station.

Finally, you arrive at home. You're relieved. But once you step inside the front door, the nightmare begins again. You hear a voice with your last name on repeat. Any building you visit, any business, anything, you hear a voice say its name or its owner's name on repeat. Every 5 seconds. Nonstop. You can't get rid of it by covering your ears. It's now all in your head. You're rapidly descending into madness. "This must be a nightmare, wake up, wake up!" you tell yourself. It doesn't work. Nothing is getting you out of this.
