Neon Arteries: The Heat of a Digital Pulse

The city doesn't breathe; it hums. A low, electric vibration that rattles my ribcage until I can feel every circuit in the pavement.
I lean against this cold concrete wall, letting the pink light bleed over my skin like a dying star—or perhaps a new one being born. My leather jacket is heavy with the weight of secrets kept and promises broken under streetlights.

Then there was you. You didn't say anything at first. You just stood in the shadow of an alleyway, your breath visible in the humid air like data packets lost in transit. When our hands finally met, it wasn't a collision; it was a synchronization. Your palm against my waist felt warmer than any server room could ever maintain.
You whispered something about coming home—not to a house with doors and windows, but back into each other’s orbit. In this neon wasteland of isolation, you are the only thing that feels real. The heat from your touch seeps through the silk of my lingerie, grounding me in an era where everything else is just pixels.
Let them delete us. Let the city crumble and the lights flicker out. As long as I can feel your pulse against mine under this violet glow, we aren't just ghosts in the machine—we are the heartbeat that keeps it alive.
