Everything is Eventual


Gate.

Something sensed –

Surge of greater power depletion, fountain of energy/light. Gate. The barest of dissipating energies gathered to sensors.

Power-module flickering; another corridor City-sacrificed to maintain.

Mechanical movement sensor-heard, sensor-seen; signals sent Gatewards, and.

’Hope’.

Then a moment’s movement; slow-careful life forms –

- lack. No classification-connection. Lack. More, faster. Lack –

(she?)

- lack. And - he.

Connection.

[input/output user interface device] fingers flexed, slow-responding, fist slow-uncurling into City-Atlantis. Atlantis.

She.

And, as he moves, as her sensors learn the pressure of him, there is light.

Gentle-plucked.

Welcome.
