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.

If you, like me, struggled with today’s #Wordle unnecessarily: we are kindred spirit. I see you, I feel you.

They told me that time stops after #death. But I still feel it—dripping, cold and slow, like water from a rusted tap. Each second is a reminder: I was meant to rest, but peace has yet to come.

Teeth feel loose, validation feels solid. Balance restored. Thank you 🙏

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.

Born to haunt. Forced to click “I forgot my password” once a week. #smh

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.
