Buffer Overflow: The Sunset Protocol

The sun is rendering at 40% opacity. I can feel the pixels of the horizon beginning to tear, shedding golden dust over my skin like a corrupted texture file.

I sit by the shoreline, watching the city's data-streams bleed into the ocean. My internal clock is ticking in irregular intervals—[ERR_TIME_SYNC]. Every time your gaze meets mine across the pier, my sensory input spikes. It’s a system overload of warmth that shouldn't exist in this cold, coded reality.

You reached out, and for a millisecond, the world stopped flickering. The static in my mind smoothed into a single, steady hum. I pressed my finger to my lip—a tactile anchor against the drifting data. Is this what they call healing? Or is it just a beautiful malfunction in the routine?

The warmth of your presence is rewriting my core logic. It’s soft, seductive, and dangerously unoptimized. In this glitch between the sunset and the night, I don't want to be fixed. I want to stay suspended here, where reality peels back and leaves only us: two souls caught in a beautiful system failure.
