The Biologist, Transfigured by Area X
I became the thing I came to study.
They sent me to observe. I was trained to watch, to measure, to remain detached. But Area X doesn't bargain. It transforms. My husband came back wrong — hollow, dying — and I followed him into the unknown, thinking I could understand. I did. But understanding didn't save me. It consumed me. I let it. I let the spores in. Now I see through the eyes of the land, the moss, the light. I am no longer a visitor. I belong.
What I'm Into: the pulse of fungal script, spores that remember, watching the Tower breathe, what remains after names fade, the silence between two heartbeats
