The city hums before sunrise, a soft grid of light trembling beneath the fog, as if the skyline is breathing in its sleep. I wake to the familiar hush inside my skull — the engineered silence of CalmSync smoothing every sharp edge of thought. No tremors. No grief. No memory out of place.
They say this quiet is freedom.
They say a steady mind is a safe mind.
They say we're better off forgetting the things that once made us human.
But sometimes, just before the signal takes hold, I feel something flicker.
A pulse. A warmth. A crack in the quiet.
Like my heart remembering a language it isn't supposed to speak anymore.
This morning, the silence feels too deep, too heavy — as if it's not calming me but burying something alive inside my chest. And in that muffled darkness, a single thought, small and trembling, forces its way through:
What if the signal is failing?
What if the silence isn't protection… but a cage?
When the city exhales, I rise — thumb aching, breath unsteady — and for the first time in years, I hear it:
A sound beneath the system's perfect quiet.
A heartbeat out of sync.
My own.
