To your right: a staircase that goes up, down, and sideways . At the top, a nursery rhyme. At the bottom, a furnace that once burned a star. Protocol: Origin You are —a discarded vessel

Before you: a single, flickering lantern. Its flame is the color of a held breath. Your heart is a clockwork turbine that runs on screams

You wake to the sound of your own ribs cracking against a floor made of frozen milk and broken mirrors.
