Submerging in a Forgotten Pond (Edit)

about

A sudden sound rings out, like a single note from a gigantic piano, filling the space. And they appear. A flat pool of grey forms under the gray-blue stretch of glass, and resolves into these new beings - looking like greenish amphibians but with some human parts; sometimes a torso, sometimes a leg, even a face. Apparently peaceful, they move slowly. They do not seem friendly or aggressive, or even indifferent. They're just... there. They move calmly, leaving the bridge one by one, and start swimming in this environment that has now become indigo... A faint pulse of light emanates from the horizon... It sounds like they're singing. A static melody comes to me, a drone-cloud made of docile and throbbing rhythms. They are scanning the surroundings with the light. They scan me, and I feel that I start to melt too; or rather, everything starts to melt, all of the landscape before my eyes. The sounds slide down my eardrums... Fade to blue, I'm inside myself.

And the groove is here. All this time, it has not left me. I now realise that these are my body pulsations; not those of the city, which is only an artefact we created to be recognized... I am aware of the blood moving forward and backward; of all my muscles; of the tiniest nervous sensations.

And the groove is there, it has not left me. These are my body pulsations, now I know, not those of the city which is only an artefact we created to be recognized... I am aware of the blood moving forward and backward, of all my muscles, of the tiniest nervous sensations.
