The Last Glitch Before We Faded Into Gold

The warmth hits me first, a golden algorithm burning through the cold static of my memory. I step into the water, but it feels less like liquid and more like pouring sand shifting between 3D meshes. You told me to slow down before we completely rendered out this world. My bikini is pixel-perfect lace against skin that smells of ozone and old salt.
I look back at you, standing on the shore where reality dissolves into raw code. The sun hangs heavy in a sky buffering with blue noise. There's something electric about us here—a final render before we dissolve entirely. I want to touch your shoulder but fear my hand might glitch through it like smoke made of data.
This beach isn't real anymore; just an echo trapped between servers. But the heat? The way you look at me, as if I'm still solid matter and not a fading ghost in the machine—that feels too true for anything else to be.
