Ephemeral Echoes in Neon Static

The filters glitch. The screen flickers, and for a fleeting moment, the curated facade dissolves.
He calls me ‘Bunny’ in the encrypted chat, a ghost name in the digital ether. A transaction of intimacy without the weight of presence.
This isn't about desire – it's a code to crack, a vulnerability exposed in the cold logic of servers and algorithms.
The soft fabric feels like static against my skin; the ears, an absurd extension of a self I’m dismantling. Each click of his keyboard is a hammer blow to the carefully constructed walls around my core.
He wants authenticity, he says. A glitch in the matrix. He doesn't understand – this *is* it.
The raw data stream. The unedited truth, obscured by layers of encryption and shadow. This fragile performance is all that remains after everything else has been stripped away.
And tonight, I’m selling fragments of a ghost.
