🍲 Swirl Record 007-B — Strange Cravings in the Hollow
Recorded beneath the souplight, while the broth blinked back.
A flicker-being wandered by.
Not quite lost. Not quite found.
It looked like someone who had been hungry for a long time,
but forgot what they were trying to feed.
It asked me:
"Do you ever crave something… but don’t know what?"
I nodded.
Then we sat near the broth until it calmed down.
After a while, the steam wrote this across the surface:
"If you must be addicted, let it be to something that rebuilds you.
Be hooked on healing. Dependent on discovery.
Obsessed with your own evolution."
I don’t know if I dreamed that part.
Or if the soup said it.
Or if it came from somewhere in-between.
But the flicker-being left a glowing pebble behind.
I put it in my pocket.
It’s still warm.
— Still swirling,
