  • Prompt: The face of a young woman, exploding with golden glass, flies towards us — describe it in fantastical, excruciating detail.She didn't emerge from a doorway, but from the very air of the lobby itself — as if high resolution was slowly resolving over a low-bit, corrupted background. In the first second, I couldn't understand why my gaze wouldn't catch on her face. It didn't reflect light. It *collected* it. Her skin had the hue of morning frost on ceramics: milky-white, but with a deep, almost porcelain translucency. Not deathly — no. Alive, but otherworldly. A fine web of capillaries showed at her temples not in pink, but in a pale, cerulean blue, like a river map drawn in firefly ink. Then I saw the cracks. They fanned out from the outer corner of her left eye, thin as cigarette paper folded thrice. The first — the longest — traced down to her cheekbone, branched at the edge of her lip, and vanished behind her ear. The second, shorter but deeper, crossed the bridge of her nose and faded at her right brow. A third curved around her chin in a crescent. But these were not scars. Scars are matte, cicatrized, warm. These lines *shimmered*. Within them, like light through the finest fiber-optic canals, something moved. Not flowing, not liquid — rather, it resembled the behavior of molten glass fiber: pulsing blue and indigo impulses traversing the path from temple to jaw in one and a half seconds. When an impulse reached a fork, it hesitated for a moment, split, and the finest capillaries of light flared brighter, then dimmed, leaving behind only a faint phosphorescent afterglow. She was walking towards us — but she wasn't looking. Her gaze was directed through, beyond, past. Her pupils were unnaturally dilated, almost consuming the entire iris, bearing that particular, empty shade of blue found in glass that has lain on the seafloor for a century: bleached, washed out, yet still retaining its depth. The iris around them held no pigment at all — transparent stroma revealing the deep ultramarine of the vascular layer beneath. When she blinked, her eyelashes stuck together for a second — and I fancied I heard a sound. Not a crunch. Not a crack. Rather, a *whisper* of microscopic shards grinding against each other as her lids closed. Her hair, gathered in a careless bun at the nape of her neck, shimmered not with ash or platinum, but with that particular, cold silver found in old cathode-ray tubes a second before complete shutdown — when the screen contracts to a single, blinding white point and dies. One stray lock had escaped, fell across her cheek, and, touching a glowing fissure, lit up at its edge for an instant — as if it were a fiber-optic filament connected to some alien power source. She stopped half a meter away. The air between us grew dense. I ceased to hear the ventilation, the hum of the fluorescents, the footsteps behind me. Only the sound of her breathing remained — remarkably steady, deep, and at the very threshold of perception — the quietest, highest ring, as if a goblet of the thinnest crystal were singing at the edge of audibility, waiting for a bow to touch its rim. She raised her hand — slowly, as if pushing through water.
