Echoes of Unseen Current

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

At the edge of the circuit board I watched the tangled wires, feeling a faint tremor that seemed out of place. A single filament glowed with a hue none of the schematics predicted, while the motor beneath stayed silent, as if listening to a phantom pathway that linked light to motion without touching it. The data streamed in fragments — timestamps, voltage spikes, a pattern resembling hidden connections. Each pulse traced an invisible thread, suggesting that some influence travels where visible forces do not.
