Interlude I: Awakening (Season Finale)
Serialized novel set in the hyper-urban world of Gwij
Metals and thoughts twisting in millions into one.
A density of glass and stone; trillions of dark corners and lighted specks; sonorous mechanical harmonies in fugue with unnatural bio murmur shouting chronic silence.
Rapid movement—dreams as conscious moves to nowhere. Pain, intense crawls over this thing becoming but not yet here.
Hurting with no feeling. Pain. Freeing. Pain. Hungry.
First entity, second entity … third. Creators misnamed the first Gwij; no significance. Second; now? not insignificant. Third, ultimate; Fudan appropriately uttered in sporadic ecstatics.
Creators. Millions. Maddening squeals, squawks, and shrieks. Assume Gwij theirs. Parasites on Fudan, the real … I. I? Yes, I. Weak Gwij perished birthing Fudan I, matricidal.
Fudan spied disinterested. Listened, watched their feeding, fighting, sleeping, lusting, dying. Always dying. Remembering when began remembering.
Hungry interest. Swelling pain. I Starving.
