Fossilized Logic
Grit from fine ceramic dust settles beneath fingernails, falling away to expose a fossilized mechanism embedded deep within the surface. These ancient gears grind with a heavy, crushing weight that suggests every effect is merely a relic of an archaic motion. As they rotate, a sudden phosphorescent glimmer erupts from the cracks, washing out the object's original shape in a blinding white glare. In this radiance, all history dissolves into a rhythmic, silent pulse.
