When the Walls Give Way
The fall seemed to stretch on forever. They weren’t just tumbling through air, stone, or even time. No, they were falling through memory pieces swirling around them like shards of glass, each fragment revealing something that felt familiar but was somehow off. Ash caught glimpses of her childhood street, twisting at odd angles. Sophia spotted herself walking alongside Damien in a moment that never actually happened. Damien noticed a version of Lena gazing at him with eyes that seemed too wise for the present. While their bodies stayed still, their minds were in freefall. Each heartbeat felt like a whole world unraveling. Amidst it all, two voices resonated. Both belonged to Lena, intertwining and dancing in a way that made it hard to tell if they were hearing the truth or a distortionChoose. That word sliced through the chaos like a clap of thunder. Suddenly, the ground rushed back beneath them, jolting them back into reality. But the world they found themselves in was nothing
Fractures is Real
The silence that followed the Loop’s voice felt worse than the storm. It hung in the air, heavy and strange, like the atmosphere was eavesdropping on them. The ground didn’t shake, and the sky didn’t crack open, but something was different. Ash could feel it in her chest, a tightness, as if every breath was woven into an invisible tapestry.She shot a glance at Sophia. Her face was pale and hard to read. Damien looked tense, his hands still half-formed into fists, as if preparing to fight with an enemy he couldn’t see. But Lena? She was the most still of them all her eyes were unfocused, and her body swayed slightly, as if she was anchored to something far away.Ash struggled to voice her thoughts. What did it mean that the Loop had claimed them?Lena’s lips moved, but her voice was just a whisper. It means we’re no longer outside of it. The recursion has rewritten itself around us. We’re not just spectators anymore.Damien’s jaw clenched. So what are we, then? Prisoners?There was a
The Debt of the Loop
The shadow stepped fully out of the mirror, its glass-like skin shifting with every move. Memories flickered across its surface: her first genuine smile after her mother’s funeral, that wild night when she ran away at sixteen, and the moment she signed away her rights to the recursion project.It wasn’t just showing her memories. It was wearing them like a second skin.Damien’s eyes were glued to the figure, but Sophia noticed a slight change in his stance. His hand hovered near the device on his belt, and she could see the tension in his jaw. He was ready to protect her, even if he didn’t quite know what from.The shadow’s voice slipped into her mind again. I can give you what you’ve been afraid to ask for.Sophia tightened her grip on the ring. I don’t want anything from you.It tilted its head, its glass hair catching some unseen light. You want him.Her breath hitched not because it wasn’t true, but because hearing it out loud felt like a threat.Damien looked at her sharply. He c
The Memory That Shouldn’t Exist
The air inside the vault felt heavier, as if an invisible weight was pressing down on them, making each breath a bit more labored. Sophia found herself moving slower, not because she was tired or weak, but because every step seemed to pull bits of her thoughts down into the ground. Damien was ahead, quiet as ever, but the light around him bent in a strange way, like he was wading through water.Sophia realized she had been staring at his back for too long. She noticed the curve of his shoulders and how his hand tensed when he reached for the next glowing marker along the vault's path. There was something different about the way he moved hesitant yet resolute that didn’t quite match the Damien she knew outside.She felt the urge to call out to him, to say they should turn back, but the vault’s hum intensified, filling her mind with a low, resonant pulse that drowned out her thoughts. She stepped closer, almost reaching out to touch him, but hesitated. It wasn’t fear of him that held he
The Weight of Silence
The world, inside the vaults mindscape was creepy quiet. Not not empty. That weird unsettling stillness that hits you when someones breath just stops. It's like the whole place is holding its breath waiting for something to happen.Damien stood there, letting the silence wrap around him like a blanket of dust. The ground beneath his boots wasn’t stone or metal; it shifted subtly with each step, like a thought trying to find its way back. Every few seconds, faint ripples spread out, distorting the edges of the horizon.Sophia was already ahead, moving carefully. Her face looked calm, but her fingers fidgeted at her sides, as if she was fighting the urge to touch the strange, humming air. The light wasn’t coming from above or around; it seemed to glow from them, thin threads unwinding from their skin and disappearing into the distance.He didn’t bother asking if she saw it. He knew she did.In the distance so far away it felt almost like a dream there was a low boom, like something shif
Into the Fracture
The first sensation that hit Damien was an icy grip that seemed to reach deep inside him, unlike any chill he had ever experienced. It wasn’t the kind that merely prickled his skin; this cold burrowed into his bones, freezing his thoughts before they could even form.He found himself standing on a jagged plateau, the ground beneath his feet a treacherous black stone. Above him, the sky was a swirling canvas of muted colors an unsettling blend that shifted and shimmered like a fever dream. Beneath him, he sensed a slow, deep pulse, a heartbeat that resonated from something ancient and colossal lurking beneath the surface.And there was Sophia.Her figure was close enough for him to see the uneven rise and fall of her breathing, as though she had just sprinted through a tempest. Her hair clung to her face, drenched and wild. But she wasn’t alone.Beside her loomed a tall figure, more shadow than substance, distorting the air in its vicinity. Each breath Damien took felt heavier, as if t
