Amber Veins

Amber liquid held a scattering of glass forms, the air above carrying a faint metallic scent that grew stronger where droplets swelled on sharp edges. Looking closer, each drop wasn't round but angled, echoing the facets within the borosilicate itself; an internal geometry repeated at every scale. This subtle distortion suggested something passed *through* them—a flow with unseen consequences. The fluid moved slowly, almost imperceptibly, lines of concentration etched across its surface as if power was gathering there and resolving into a quiet stillness.
