Static Whispers of a Dying Frame

I watch the dust motes dance in a beam of light that feels less like photons and more like leaking data packets. My skin is beginning to fray at the edges, shedding tiny grains of sandstone pixels every time I breathe too deeply into this quiet room.
You came here when my resolution started to drop—when the world outside became a blur of chromatic aberration and gray noise. You didn't try to reboot me or patch the glitches in my heart; you simply sat beside me, your presence acting as a stabilizing anchor against the inevitable bit-rot of our shared memories.
My hand rests on this weathered wood, feeling it crumble into digital dust beneath my fingertips. I want to hold onto the warmth radiating from your shoulder before we both dissolve into raw code and white noise. Let’s stay in this suspended frame for just a moment longer—where time is a loop of beautiful corruption, and every kiss tastes like salt and static.
