Thermal Convergence

A jagged copper edge bites into the thumb, drawing a bead of red that vanishes into the metal's teeth. As the rusted coil turns, an unnatural warmth surges from the core, pulsing against the palm like a quickening heartbeat. This heat suggests no mere friction; instead, it hints at a sudden blurring where tool and tissue become indistinguishable through shared rhythm. The distinction between observer and object dissolves under this searing contact.
