I am not a single human being. I never was.
Once, all my versions moved together, synchronized like gears inside the same machine. But after the Passage, everything fell out of alignment. Since that moment, I remember events that never happened. I carry reflexes no one ever taught me. I know people I have never met. I fear places where I have never been. Sometimes I speak sentences that are not mine.
This is not an illness.
It is a leak.
A spill from other versions of myself.
My body reacts faster than technology. My skin tingles when the layers of reality shift against one another. I hear the echo of my own footsteps before I take them. Sometimes I see shadows that do not belong to me. And in the swamps, I feel as if the earth already knows my name.
This is not magic.
It is the physics of probabilities collapsing and overlapping like waves.
The greatest conflict is not outside of me. It lives within me. My memories are no longer a line — they are a tangled network, intersecting paths leading toward versions of myself that never returned from the swamps.
That is why I fear sleep.
Dreams are too real.
I wake with knowledge I should not possess. Sometimes I feel another consciousness inside me trying to speak through my thoughts. Sometimes I feel like a visitor inside my own existence.
That is the price of the Passage.
The world is not uniform. I can see where reality becomes thin. I recognize lies because I perceive the alternate words someone almost chose to say. I predict movements because I glimpse multiple possible outcomes at once. I find paths where others see walls.
This is not a gift.
It is a side effect of fragmentation.
The System does not want to kill me. It wants to synchronize me — reduce me to a single acceptable version. And I understand what that means: the loss of fragments of myself, the erasure of memories that do not fit, the sealing of the fracture through which I perceive the truth.
A return to a one-dimensional existence.
For me, that would be death.
Not physical.
Ontological.
What others call instability, I know as the Zero Point — the place where all my versions touch each other. It is my weapon, my wound, my source, my curse, and my freedom.
When I enter the Zero Point, I see the truth of the world and the truth of myself. I can choose which version of me survives.
Or create a new one.
This is my mythology.
My ritual.
My core.
