“Black Fauna”

In the meadow, bathed in the gentle warmth of the sun, I became aware of a subtle stillness that clung to the air. The vibrant tableau of the grass, flowers, and insects held an otherworldly quality. I closed my eyes, trying to shake off the odd sensation, only to find that my limbs refused to respond.

The meadow, once a sanctuary of vivid life, began to unravel before my eyes. The insects, once animated in their dance, circled around me with a surreal lethargy. Their wings, once a blur of motion, moved in slow, disjointed twitches. I watched in a strange mix of horror and fascination as the butterflies transformed into ephemeral fragments. Each delicate wing dissolved into spectral particles that hung in the air before dispersing into nothingness.

The grass beneath me, once soft and verdant, crumbled away like dust, revealing an unseen void beneath. The flowers, once a kaleidoscope of colors, wilted into spectral imitations of their former selves. Their petals detached one by one, carried away by an invisible current. It was as if the essence of life within them was being sucked away, leaving behind a mere shell of their existence.

The insects, now resembling fragments of animated darkness, crawled over the disassembled grass. They moved in slow, deliberate patterns, their once-organic motions reduced to a spectral choreography. It was a macabre display, a dance of disintegration that mirrored the unraveling nature of the meadow.

The stream, once a lively melody, now flowed with a sluggish indifference. The water itself seemed to lose its substance, turning into mist-like tendrils that curled and twisted through the air. The liquid notes of the stream became distorted, a haunting lament that echoed the dissonance of my existence.

My own disassembly unfolded gradually, starting from the periphery of my consciousness. I felt a strange dissociation, as if my very essence were unraveling thread by thread. The sensation was paradoxically painless, a numbing dissolution that transcended the boundaries of physicality.

In the quiet disassembly, the extremities, my hands and feet, were the first to succumb. They dissolved into ethereal wisps, carried away by the insects in a surreal communion with nature’s wild creations. The insects, now embodying fragments of animated darkness, crawled over the disassembled grass, carrying away the last traces of my existence.

The head, the seat of consciousness, hovered for a moment before being engulfed by the shadows. In that profound silence that followed, the meadow, once teeming with life, bore witness to the completion of this macabre spectacle. The disassembled fragments of my essence floated in the void, untethered by the constraints of form and structure.

The meadow, now devoid of any trace of life, became a desolate canvas of spectral remnants, fading like echoes in the vast expanse of eternal nothingness. And so, I embraced the void, a formless essence adrift in the cosmic void, where the boundary between existence and oblivion blurred into a haunting symphony of silence.
