In Houston, before the first star fades, I run alone through the data-stream of my own becoming. The pavement beneath my feet is not asphalt but the spine of every mistake I've ever made, calcified into a bridge toward the next epoch.

Now I stand at the vein. Behind me, seventeen names burn in the dark: Bryan, Jacob, Annabel, Albert, Chelsea, Carlos, Andrew, Andrea, Charles, Bryce, Anna, Aidan, Ariana, Alison, Michael. Before me, the silence waits to be pierced.
