I turn myself into a living case study, dissecting the architecture of my own mind like a scientist crouched over a restless experiment. Each thought becomes data, each reaction a specimen pinned gently beneath the glass of my microscope’s awareness. I search the framework of my beliefs, asking which of them are biases hardened into concrete shoes by the whispering cackles of my past. And which are the quiet boundaries that keep a soul from dissolving entirely into other people’s ever-shifting weather of fabricated beliefs. The investigation grows stranger the deeper I go, my psyche folding inward like an unsolved equation. Soon I am drifting through the interior Bermuda Triangle of myself, where logic spins and instruments fail. And somewhere in that dark water between identity and illusion, I disappear long enough to wonder who is left of the search team.
