  • Prompt: The face of a young girl, germinating with gold glass, moves within the current — describe this with fantastical meticulousness. She walked along the gallery, and light fell upon her differently than upon everything else. Not because she radiated light — no. Rather, the surrounding space seemed to acknowledge in her something more ancient, denser, more real. The air before her face refracted ever so slightly, as above a heated surface, yet no warmth was perceptible — only a subtle, barely discernible shift in perspective. Her face. It was neither mask nor vessel. It resembled a stained-glass window that had been forgotten unset, left to live its own life. Her skin held the warmth of old ivory — deep, matte, with the faint, almost imperceptible grain of aged parchment. And across this surface, without disrupting its integrity, golden lines spread. They did not resemble cracks. Rather — a drawing emerging through centuries: hair-thin veins of red gold, fused into porcelain glaze. They began their journey at the temples, descended to the cheekbones, traced the line of the jaw, converged at the bridge of the nose. Not chaotically — architecturally, like the vaults of a Gothic cathedral meeting at the keystone. In one line, the branch of an acacia could be discerned. In another, the volute of an Ionic capital. A third resembled a staff of notation upon which someone, long ago, had written a melody and forgotten to erase. She wore them not as scars. She wore them as adornment, more natural than any ring or diadem. Her eyes. There was no fracture in them, no sorrow. They looked directly, openly, with that particular attentiveness of those accustomed to listening into silence. Her irises held the warmth of deep amber — not liquid, not flowing, but dense, like resin in which millions of microscopic golden sparks had been suspended. When she blinked, her lids moved slowly, almost ceremonially, and for an instant her lashes caught light at their edges — not brightly, only a suggestion, like a candle reflected in old silver. Her hair. It was gathered in a careless knot at the nape of her neck, and several strands had escaped, touching her cheeks and throat. Its color recalled a copper-and-gold alloy — warm, deep, with that reddish undertone that appears only in the finest metal after prolonged polishing. Light moved through her hair slowly, languidly, as if it had no reason to hurry. One strand fell across her face, touched her cheekbone — and the golden line beneath her skin responded, brightening for a moment, as if recognizing its own. She moved smoothly, but not slowly. In each gesture there was a sense of completion — that quality which appears in dancers after decades of daily practice, or in calligraphers who have traced the same character a thousand times. Her hands moved economically, precisely, without superfluous motion. Her fingers — long, slender, with perfect half-moons at the nails, polished to a matte sheen. She drew nearer. The air around her neither trembled nor rang. It simply grew clearer — as after a thunderstorm, when ozone displaces all other scent. And with this came an aroma: dried flowers, old wax, a barely perceptible trace of frankincense, and something else, elusive — perhaps the memory of books unopened for a century, yet still holding the scent of leather and printer's ink.
