All 4 types
📱The ConveyorThe honest version: autoplay, infinite scroll, one more round. The thing in your hand was built without an ending in it, and at midnight you are playing against people who tested this.📱The Lamp Left OnYou are not staying up for tonight. You are staying up against tomorrow — because the light going off is what starts it, and because the dark is when your head begins talking.📱The Stolen HourThe day belonged to other people. The night is the only part of it you own, and you are not handing it back at eleven just because you are tired.📱The Last Ten StepsYou are not refusing to sleep. You decided to go twenty minutes ago and you are still here, because deciding and standing up turned out to be two different actions.
