There was a light in the woods, pulsing like a heartbeat. I followed, naïve. #Malignant roots curled around my ankles, and the earth began to breathe.

There’s a second shadow that doesn’t mimic me. It lingers a beat too long at the mirror. When I turn away, I feel it peel off. The #wraith wears my smile better than I ever did.

His spine opened like scripture. Inside, the fleshy #matrix pulsed—wet, whispering, ancient. I knelt. Not to worship, but to enter.

The vault door groaned open, and we stepped into a brave new world of shimmering glass. “It’s safe now,” she said, her voice echoing. But the air tasted like coins, and the soft wind carried a #radioactive lullaby that made my teeth feel loose.

The forest grew backward. Fruits retreated into their blooms, fallen leaves rose. Leaves unbloomed, roots twisted from the soil. The birds did not fly; they folded into #involution, swallowed by the hush of their own bones.

The man arrived #incognito, his coat heavy with dust, his boots clean despite the muddy road. The priest locked the church doors. Some villagers would tell stories about seeing him at night, but in truth, they were lying—seeing him meant death.

Since escaping his captors, the man had run through days and through nights.
He was now #unbridled, but he couldn't stop until he held a weapon again.
Finally, he found an axe left unattended. Worn, but enough.
Its blade broke his chains against a stone.
Freedom at last.

His smile was #disarming, easy. Too easy. I didn’t notice his fingers tracing my wrist until my hand went numb—I looked down and saw my bones, neatly arranged in his palm like silverware.

He stepped onto the #thoroughfare at twilight, just as the bells began ringing. He never found the bell tower, never saw the hands that pulled the ropes, but when the tolling stopped, he felt the eyes of everyone on the street turn to him.
