Erratic Pulse

Copper wires hum with heat against your palms, smelling of ozone and scorched metal. Beneath the tangled fiber-optic knot, rhythmic pulses flicker like a frantic heartbeat, sending jagged tremors through each connection. Each erratic light demands an adjustment, pulling at the edges of your focus until you are no longer merely observing the current but becoming part of its unpredictable flow. In this sudden alignment, the chaotic rhythm settles into a steady, singular warmth.
