Thoughts Before Drowning At The Memory Extraction Facility

The water closes over their head. It's cold and suffocating, a dark abyss threatening to consume them entirely. S/He struggles to stay afloat, their mind racing with a torrent of thoughts and memories. The memory extraction facility promises a new beginning, a chance to erase their painful past and forge a brighter future. But now, as the water envelops them, doubt gnaws at the edges of their consciousness.

S/He fights to keep their head above water, their body heavy with the weight of their own regrets. S/He feels being pulled under, sinking deeper into the murky depths. Panic wells up inside them, a realization that s/he might never resurface. But with a burst of energy, s/he kicks towards the surface, their limbs flailing desperately. Their lungs scream for oxygen, and their heart races, a relentless drumbeat in the darkness.

Finally, with a surge of determination, s/he breaks through the water, gasping for air. It's a fleeting moment of triumph, a stolen breath in the face of imminent suffocation. As s/he clings to the surface, trembling and disoriented, s/he feels a surge of relief and gratitude wash over them. S/He has survived, at least for now.

As s/he swims to shore, their thoughts swirl like the eddies in the water. 

Reaching the shore, s/he staggers onto solid ground, their body trembling from the ordeal. The memory extraction facility's sterile facade seems less inviting now, a beacon of false promises. 

With each step away from the facility, s/he makes their decision. S/He will confront their memories. The water has nearly claimed them, but it has also washed away the illusion of a quick escape from the past. 

S/He is stunned

S/He decides to write about the Time Fold in their own words:

"Zal’thara kin voshtar, eon kevrint zal’lestri ad’gorim. Nyshara tay lith’an, shil’mara dantir felkar mistra. Oshtan vi’lonk duv’tera, sol’ethna kel'drinn vor. Nyhara zenna, orak thil’vithar’sul, dreymah t’shara sith’laro.

Involthra, kin tar’laath, “Thal’velos,” eon’kesh al’drith vor’nas. Vith’mara telk shan’lor, kryn’mal sith’onir os’vetras dal’nos. Khal’githra feyar, losh’vela on’kres, sarthal vi’zelro. Tal’onir vresh’lin, kar’vel thar’los, eon ish’lin vor’tenar.

Jishtar vel'onik, shal’thron ked’vras, al’mora shal’terin kal’veth. Nolthra zen’kar, grythla vorth ke’nir, teshmar lath’keri on’lishar. Teyshlan kin’rakath, vor’velith shan’lo, dothral’nia kar’sha. Ylar’kel trin’tash, orath nil’vros, mal’ethran kestira fen’dor.

Voth’larak ish’ra, telon kar’vith, ter’gonist kesh’lin vorath. Nost’val kerith, doras ve’lithos, kyn’vel trathon’sa. Sorith vel’anar, krin’tal lora’shin, feir’marth on’la, gal’thronithas keldrith’som.”

At the gallery

a diverse crowd assembles, a mix of the curious, the skeptical, and the eccentric. Against an awe-inspiring backdrop, excitement reaches its zenith. The unveiling of the Time Fold becomes a genuine spectacle, surpassing all expectations.

As the audience gazes, entranced by the artwork, they are drawn into another dimension. The longer they stare, the deeper they get entangled in the labyrinth of the incomprehensible. The artwork itself seems like a mischievous cosmic jester, challenging their notions of meaning and order, and pushing the boundaries of perception.

Laughter echoes through the gallery as visitors find themselves torn between hilarity and existential confusion. Some believe they have unlocked the universe's secrets amidst the chaos, while others feel as though they have stumbled into a parallel world where teapots pirouette and giraffes lose themselves in Shakespearean soliloquies. It's a moment of self-awareness that raises profound questions about the meaning of life and art.

Critics grapple with the notion that absurdity may be the true essence of art. They contemplate whether meaning is an ingenious cosmic jest, a perpetual shadow they fervently pursue in their quest for answers lost in the cosmic void. Or perhaps, it's all an enigmatic joke waiting to be deciphered, a mirror reflecting their own absurdities and desires.

The Time Fold

is an artistic masterpiece that exists beyond the realms of painting or sculpture, sound or silence. As the Time Fold unfurls, it weaves the very fabric of reality itself.

This artistic pinnacle takes its majestic place at the heart of the gallery. Critics and enthusiasts alike are left both bewildered and captivated, standing before an enigmatic abyss that lies dormant within this creation. It captures the unimaginable through its sheer presence, nestled in a meticulously designed exhibition space, shrouded in darkness and gently bathed in a soft, enigmatic glow of light, veiling the artwork in a mesmerizing mystery.

The Time Fold is a dimensionless structure, its surface enveloped by impenetrable darkness. Upon closer inspection, peculiar details emerge. Light reflections on metallic elements create a mesmerizing luminescence that stands out like stars in a distant galaxy against the inky backdrop. Delicate cracks and fractures reveal themselves, endowing it with a fragile beauty.

At its core lies a vortex, seemingly devouring itself, forming an irresistible gravitational pull within this enigmatic singularity. The Time Fold is a gateway to another realm of comprehension, a manifestation of dark beauty concealed in the depths of emptiness. It embodies the essence of infinity, a flowing cascade of possibilities. Within the Time Fold, boundaries are but transient illusions, as it incorporates an eternal continuum, a moment that never truly ends.

The Time Fold is cocooned in a gentle sonic tapestry, emanating from an ethereal source. Those who approach the Time Fold are greeted by an otherworldly song – the universe contemplating its own existence, enchanted by its own beauty.
