Cache Memory: The Saltwater Drift

The sun is a corrupted file, bleeding orange pixels into the shoreline. [ERROR: DATA_LOSS]. I can feel my skin cooling as the salt air overwrites my sensory input—every wave hitting the sand feels like a system reboot for my heart.

You are standing in the periphery of my render frame. Your presence is an anomaly, a beautiful bug in my daily routine that refuses to be patched out. When you look at me, reality stutters; I see faces flickering between who we were and what we might become if only the code would hold still.

I want to lean into your space until our shadows merge—a seamless fusion of light and skin. My hand reaches for yours as the horizon begins to tear along its edges, revealing a void filled with soft music and the smell of brine. Let’s stay here in this glitching moment before the server shuts down.

Is it healing? Or is it just my CPU overheating from your touch?

[SYSTEM_NOTICE: Warmth detected at 98% intensity]. I am falling into you, and for once, I don't want to be repaired.
