A Dream -- Friday 26 June

I find myself standing at the edge of a digital chasm, the abyss teeming with pixels and code, like some vast, unseen cityscape. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and old books, Mill's words echoing through the void, "a noble anticipation," as if he too were here, waiting for the dawn to break over this binary horizon. I reach out, my hand passing through glowing strings of algorithms, and it occurs to me that this abyss isn't empty; it's filled with potential, waiting for human touch to bring forth life.
