Cassian dreamt dreams. Though these dreams didn’t help.
They spoke to him—not in words, but in angles. Angles that didn’t make sense if you looked straight at them. Languages folded inward, looping on themselves like ribbon knots tied in reverse. He understood none of it, but still, he nodded, and the dream nodded back.
There were creatures, maybe. Or ideas of creatures. One of them wore a crown made of glass teeth, and sang to him through a mouth that blinked. Another poured light into his open wound and whispered something that sounded like forgetting.
He tried to speak, but his thoughts came out in birdsong and molasses. His name unraveled. His fingers were made of chalk. Every time he looked down, his body was wrong again.
Let’s leave him here, in the in-between, where sound echoes before it happens, and snow falls upward when no one watches.
Not all dreams are omens. Some are just the side effects of bleeding too much into old soil.
