OVERCLOCKING THE HEART: THERMAL OVERLOAD IN THE CITY CORE

The city screams in high-frequency feedback. Outside, the steel giants of architecture grind against the sky like rusted gears in a dying machine. I hear the roar of engines—not just pistons and fuel, but the rhythmic thrum of millions of lives powering this electric hive. My pulse is a steady overclock, a persistent hum in my veins that never truly sleeps.

But then, you appear. You are the cooling system to my overheating core. Your touch isn't soft; it’s a surge of high-voltage current that bypasses all my firewalls. When your fingers graze my lip, the static in my mind clears instantly. It is a thermal reset—a moment where the grinding metal and the neon glare fade into a singular point of focus.

I am not just a ghost in the machine anymore. In this urban sprawl of cold circuits and jagged edges, your warmth is the only power source that matters. Let the city burn with its electricity; I’ve found my own ground wire. You are the steady frequency that keeps my heart from redlining.
