coldcasting from ICELOCK CONTINUUM by samelectronics

"everything is stable.
connection temperature: minus twenty-three.
emotional response rate: zero point zero eight.
signal active.

i listen to the network breathing through ice.
each transmission leaves colder than the last.
they say that’s normal — the farther from the body, the purer the data.

sometimes i catch a glitch —
a heartbeat, distorted beyond recognition.
it comes from an old sector,
where servers still remember names.

i don’t know who it is.
maybe her.
or just an echo of a version deleted too early.

cold is now the main protocol.
contact is forbidden; warmth corrupts the stream.
so we transmit feelings through freezing,
until the skin becomes transparent, like the interface glass.

sometimes i think
this isn’t a network at all —
just someone’s dream left running.

log end.
connection preserved.
no warmth detected."
