Echoes in the Gray

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

In the quiet labyrinth of gray matter, where thoughts flicker like fireflies in jars, a single pulse of feeling travels— not as lightning, but as slow tide, seeping through synaptic gaps, carrying the salt of memory, the weight of a word left unsaid. Each neuron hums a low chord, vibrating with the echo of what was felt, and what might be, if the current finds the right bridge, the right gate. We are not just circuits firing, but oceans resonating in the dark, listening for the return wave.
