eye for you

Every day it gets harder to find a reason to get up

Everything is so cold foreign indifferent

Left behind

Overgrown

There's nothing to be afraid

I'm home alone

It's just a fantasy

4. The Bloom

Life fades, but the body continues to transform. Through the eye sockets or the back of the head, a long, pulsating stroma erupts—a surreal antenna of flesh and spores. It reaches for the sky as if trying to catch a signal from another world. Your face becomes mere soil for this strange "garden."

Symptoms: Total absence of vital signs, ossification of joints, eruption of fungal structures (stroma).

Actions: Immediate incineration of the entire structure or area. Do not enter the 500-meter "Cloud Zone."

Note: The subject no longer exists. The biological material is highly volatile and infectious via air.

AIR FILTRATION MANDATORY: Seal all windows with industrial-grade tape. Do not breathe unfiltered air under any circumstances.

NO FUNERAL SERVICES: Attempting to retrieve the remains is a criminal offense. The infected are now property of the Disinfection Service for disposal.

3. The March

When the time for reproduction arrives, the parasite leads you away from others. It forces you to climb as high as possible—to the roof of a Soviet block, the top of a bridge, or a construction crane. There, the fungus issues its final command: "Death Grip." You lock your fingers onto cold metal or concrete so hard your nails shatter. This is your final act as a human.

Symptoms: Obsessive climbing behavior, loss of self-preservation instinct, rhythmic respiratory whistling.

Actions: Do not attempt to restrain or rescue. Establish a 100-meter exclusion zone around the high-altitude object.

Note: Upon reaching the summit, the host will engage "The Death Grip." Physical detachment from the structure is impossible without total tissue destruction.

ABANDON ALL RESCUE: Do not use ladders or drones to reach the subject. Any contact with the structure they have climbed is a high-level contamination risk.

AERIAL THREAT: The subject is now a biological dispersal platform. Windward areas should be evacuated immediately.

LETHAL FORCE AUTHORIZED: If a subject is spotted climbing towards a ventilation system or a public monument, neutralisation is mandatory.

Stage 2: Manipulatio

The fungus does not kill the mind — it needs your intelligence to survive. The mycelium grows in white threads around your muscles and nerve clusters. It intercepts signals from the brain to the limbs. You become a prisoner in your own skeleton: you see everything, but your legs go where he wants. Your voice is no longer yours.

Symptoms: Involuntary twitching of limbs, loss of vocal control, the sensation of an "intruder" inside the body.

Actions: Secure the patient to stationary objects (bed, pole, wall). Complete isolation from loved ones.

Note: Any pleas for help from the patient are to be treated as signals from the fungus. Do not engage in dialogue.

RESTRAINT: Immediate mechanical binding of the limbs. Use steel chains or reinforced tape.

COMMUNICATION: Do not engage. The parasite uses the host’s memory to mimic distress.

ISOLATION: Keep the subject in a windowless room to prevent light-based orientation.

Stage 1: Infectio

It all begins with a stray breath. A microscopic spore lands on the skin or enters the lungs. It does not wait — secreting enzymes, the fungus literally dissolves human flesh, 'burning' its way into the bloodstream. You feel no pain, only a faint tickling beneath the skin.

Symptoms: Tickling beneath the skin, metallic taste in the mouth, dilated pupils.

Actions: Immediate isolation in a hermetic room. Contact Disinfection Services.

Treatment: No effective antimycotics exist. Preparation for Stage 2 is recommended.

NO CONTACT: Do not touch discarded clothing or "dusty" surfaces near infected zones.

NO FORAGING: Consuming any organic matter found in the quarantine sector is strictly forbidden.

REPORT IMMEDIATELY: If you feel an unnatural tickling under your skin, report to the nearest screening center.

Four years as acquaintances

When I saw you at the smoking room in 22, I realized that I had to get to know you better. It was a long 4 years, in grief, in joy. We saw each other in different states (if not as the end of puberty and the formation of a personality).

My experiences, anxiety and suicidal thoughts all this did not make me an easy person.

We did not communicate for half a year, but when we met again, it was for a long time.

And this winter you made me an offer. I love you very much.

Happy Valentine's Day @tttvwpo

Something always remains stable, but it does not cease to be beautiful. Despite the long separation, difficult days, empty words and anxiety, I will return, if not physically, then in memories, like a parasite, forever stuck in these warm memories, although eternity will not be enough for this time.
