Your breath was only the doorway;
I needed the whole world of your nearness.

Now my leaves curl brown at the edges
with a thirst that refuses its name.
Even my shadow thins and drifts,
as if it, too, longs to follow.

The world insists it is summer,
but I have already begun to fall.

Every system begins with a lie it must protect.
The Volition Gap started there — in the space between obedience and awareness.

Reality has a checksum problem.
Every truth you remember was patched mid-version.

The Volition Gap begins where the algorithm meets its conscience—
a story about control, denial, and erasure
told through the collapse of memory itself.

Literary sci-fi / transhuman horror / metaphysical fiction.
