You wake up, after what feels like an indeterminate amount of time. Everything seems to have a pink-ish tint. Your movements feel muted and weightless. It takes you a moment, but you realize you are in a giant, liquid-filled vat.
“What the hell”
There's a screen across the room. You can clearly see what very convincingly looks like You. You can see this You interact with your friends, family, loved ones.

You live out the rest of your days in your liquid-filled vat, watching You live out the rest of your life. You’ve been replaced.
