The Shuddering Breath I Became

Image
   The Shuddering Breath I Became The cryo unit hisses open, and I remember my name: JB, pilot of the *Subi*. The med-techs call it “revitalisation.” My body hums with a new, raw power. Muscles knit with synthetic fibres, bones laced with carbon-filament. I feel incredible. Invincible. But in the polished chrome of the med-bay wall, my reflection is a stranger. The eyes are mine, but they glow with a faint, amber diagnostic light. The scar from the asteroid scrape is gone, replaced by skin too perfect, too seamless. They say they rebuilt me better. Stronger. To survive the long dark. But when I clench my fist, I hear a servo-whine they insist isn’t there. When I calculate a jump vector, the numbers resolve instantly in my mind, not on a screen. Is this their design? A monster of efficiency, crafted for a purpose I didn’t choose? Or is the monster the part of me that wanted this? The part that, bleeding out in my crippled cockpit, whispered *yes* to any salvation? Did I consent...

As the Dance Reveals Itself

 


As the Dance Reveals Itself

Lyrics
Verse 1
In the heart of this neon cityscape,
Shadows and lights engage in their eternal dance.
Alluring, draped in gentle pinks and purples,
Realizes her tranquil demeanour is merely a facade,
Concealing an abyss of unacknowledged Chaos.
Chorus
And now, the city reveals itself,
A cacophony of disordered existence,
No longer hidden, no longer ignored.
Together, they confront,
The stark truths they've avoided,
In the neon glow, they see themselves.
Verse 2
Vibrant, the epitome of electric blues,
With an insatiable curiosity and boundless energy,
Sees her adventures as frantic escapes,
From an inner void she feared to face,
Every neon light flickers with self-deception.
Chorus
And now, the city reveals itself,
A cacophony of disordered existence,
No longer hidden, no longer ignored.
Together, they confront,
The stark truths they've avoided,
In the neon glow, they see themselves.
Verse 3
As they scrutinize each other, their energies collide,
Alluring's serene thoughts, a mechanism to suppress,
Vibrant's relentless Curiosity, a means to evade,
Their journey morphs into an introspective odyssey,
Stripping away illusions they clung to.
Chorus
And now, the city reveals itself,
A cacophony of disordered existence,
No longer hidden, no longer ignored.
Together, they confront,
The stark truths they've avoided,
In the neon glow, they see themselves.
Outro
In this stark moment of recognition,
They understand equilibrium lies,
Not in best practices but in embracing Chaos,
Their journey through neon dreams,
An odyssey of profound complexities,
Together, they find meaningful balance.

Description:
In the heart of a neon-soaked cityscape, shadows and lights engage in an eternal waltz. Follow Alluring and Vibrant as their journey into the night unravels the illusions they've clung to. Alluring, draped in gentle pinks and purples, realizes her tranquil demeanour is merely a veneer concealing an abyss of unacknowledged Chaos. Vibrant, the epitome of electric blues and vivid purples, begins to see her insatiable Curiosity and boundless energy as desperate distractions from an inner void. As they scrutinize each other, their divergent energies lay bare the stark truths they've been avoiding. Join their introspective odyssey through the pulsating cityscape as they strip away the illusions and embrace their profound complexities.
