With just twelve minutes for to tell a tale,
Each aspect must be tight, all without waste.
Scripts must be tight, and dialogue can't fail
To be efficient, curt but still with taste.
And both of these prevail here, as do all
The SFX and art direction, though
The actors, as if Lucas made the call
To treat them like set-pieces, make this show
A bit uneven. Still, this harrowing
Account of med-tech turned to nasty ends
Is tense and good, is creepy, narrowing
The battle for the world to two young friends'
Own bodies. I do fear that wing-nuts
Will treat this as non-fiction, in my guts...
