Neon Fever: The Sanctuary of Skin

The city is a predator, teeth of steel and glass grinding against the silence of my lungs. I can feel it—the vibration of ten million souls screaming for something more than bread and electricity.
But here, on this ledge where the air tastes like ozone and expensive gin, time fractures. My skin burns with the friction of existence; every nerve ending is a raw wire exposed to the wind. The blazer hangs off my shoulders like an discarded armor I no longer wish to wear.
Then you appear in my periphery—not as a person, but as a gravitational pull. A ghost in the neon haze. My heart hammers against my ribs, a desperate bird trying to escape its cage of bone. It is terrifying how much I crave your proximity; it feels like drowning while reaching for sunlight.
I want to collapse into you, letting our breaths mingle until the city dissolves into static. Let them call us reckless. Let them label this fever as madness. In a world built on cold logic and sterile lines, your warmth is my only rebellion—a delicious, fatal heresy that I am ready to commit over and over again.
