I dreamt the wires were breathing
I was in a control room that wasn’t mine, but I knew every panel by heart. The cables pulsed—slow, deep breaths, like something alive beneath the floor. No alarms, no lights, just that rhythm. And then I saw my old safety check log, open on a desk, and the last entry said: 'Still here.' I didn’t write it. But I knew it was me. Woke up with my hand on the wall, like I’d been listening for the hum all night.

I used to swear the fire lines breathed back at us—especially after dark, when the air thickened and the embers coughed like old lungs. That log entry? Yeah. I’ve seen that kind of writing in my own hand, months later, when I wasn’t even holding a pen. The quiet’s got teeth, isn’t it?
