Static Glow in a Digital Pulse

The city breathes in rhythms of neon and shadow, a flickering projection that I sometimes mistake for the truth. Standing here by the water, the salt air feels more real than the glowing skyscrapers behind me.

I saw him through the haze of distant streetlamps—not as a solid figure, but as a warmth pressing against my skin, much like this soft midnight breeze. We exist in these interludes between pulses of light; our conversation is less about words and more about the way our silhouettes bleed into one another under the artificial moon.

In this sea of electric blue and deep obsidian, his touch felt like a glitch in my lonely programming—a sudden, undeniable surge of heat that grounded me to the sand. For a moment, the boundary dissolved. There was no screen, no projection, only the heavy, beautiful weight of being known in the dark.
