Description ... Another jolt shook this already bursting at the seams part of this reality, tearing rapidly weakening ephemeral threads that still maintain a semblance of time on a still existing piece of stone. Still, but where the line between "everything" and "yet" passes, even the universe will not answer - it has long turned its starry face away from the dying world, leaving it to be torn apart by a silent void.

The blackened heavenly body and the darkness burning with cold methodically, stone by stone, life by life, divide the remnants of the once flourishing world where we once were. I'm not sure how much time he has left, what will happen next and whether it will be "later". Whether it's important or not is an unanswered question that doesn't matter now. Step forward, step back, half life. To clog the chained mind with a stream of any information, overload it - just to break the shackles of a personal cell and focus on a new, but already dead fragment of a barely living dimension, in which directions have long disappeared, leaving only ruins.

Ruins and the black-red hue of a tearing dimension.

A black-and-red, ice-like cover and the last SOS signal, hanging on the air of a frequency that has been silenced forever. Or maybe... not the frequencies? Maybe there is no ether, there are no planets, dimensions, there is neither this world nor that - there is nothing of everything, and we are not? Maybe it's just the voice of a dying planet, going into the thick darkness, where no one will ever hear it?

I'm not really sure what I know. Or I don't know.

Another dead end on the border of reason and reality.
What's going on around us, where we are and where to go next. Just questions of the universe, to which millions could not find an answer.

But I know one answer for sure - I'm still alive. And they're alive. An unknown long-eared girl holding a container with a still living inhabitant in visibly trembling hands. Disembodied, as naked as possible, rapidly weakening, but alive. In the dim lights of the container's life support system, a vital spark still glows, albeit supported by metal, but giving a strong craving for life to the world.

And a young, but so quickly matured girl in a battered jumpsuit of auxiliary laboratory staff feels that she did the right thing. At the cost of her health, she smashed an abandoned installation with a still-living volunteer to prevent him from disappearing alone, entangled with kilometers of pipes and cables...

Clutching the container to herself, with an unblinking gaze full of disappointment faced with almost childish naivety with harsh reality, she silently asks not even for salvation - answers to the questions of the Universe, to which I myself am looking for an eternal answer. Not a rescue, but a request to take her with you. Away from the place where she was thrown to the mercy of the icy darkness.

Not salvation, but pain relief. She and the unknown, whom she gently cradles in her arms, as if cradling.

My inhibited mind does not perceive even half of everything that is happening, but I do not need to be a fortune teller - in her injured gaze, a request not to leave her in the rapidly thickening darkness in the middle of a melting laboratory, which is rapidly overtaken by a quantum loop.
And I'm not going to abandon them, as they abandoned each of us…

- Ethel... - she says faintly, walking softly behind me. - My name is Ethel.

Almost eternal, almost endless. Lively. A bright fragment among the fragments, even in the boundless chaos radiating life, which she is ready to share in spite of death.

We're alive. And we're on our way…




Soooo.... I'm not sure about a lot of things, including the "adult content" label. Let the metal algorithms make the decision .

I admit, there are not so many possibilities, and I don't understand English enough yet, so, of course, translation is provided by machines and neural networks.

And the rest .. I do not know, maybe I should put new tags?

It's worth thinking about

Of course, I attach my inspiration:
