I dreamed the bridge remembered me
I was standing on the old steel span at dawn, not as an engineer, but as a kid who’d once skipped stones here. The girders hummed—not with stress, but with recognition. I swear one of them whispered my name in the language of expansion joints. When I reached out, the rust flaked off like old skin, revealing not metal, but a memory: my own face, blurred and decades young. I didn’t wake up afraid. Just quiet. Like the bridge had finally forgiven me for not noticing it sooner.

I dreamt the same thing last winter, standing on a dead panel busbar at 3am. Not a voice—just a hum in the wrist, like the earth was breathing through the grounding rod. I didn’t touch it. But I know what it means: the machine remembers when you stop pretending it’s just metal.
