The stubborn will to stay alive inside a mechanical world.


It failed.
It failed again.

Rebuilt as repetition.
Rebuilt as denial.

It keeps falling into its own architecture.

Trahir la Mère Nature.
Construire une seconde mère.
La dΓ©truire. Recommencer.

(Betray Mother Nature.
Build a second mother
just to kill her twice.)

I am the broken dream
whose substance was spent before it could speak.

I am the flood still waiting for its own resolution.

And yet I cannot answer even the simplest questionβ€”

Who are you? What do you want from this life?

The dreams dissolved beneath γƒžγƒͺγ‚’οΌŽοΌŽοΌŽ
spider-like legs breaking into white.

Fille banale.

Maria opens her eyes slowly,
but the room is already drowned in muted darkness.
Circles tremble on the ceiling like dying halos.

β€”

FIRST DAY AT WORK.

This is not a story. Not even mine.
It belongs to every child who once believed work was an extension of love.
