PAGE 1 — Curfew is safety, they say. Yet shadows move when lamps dim.
PAGE 2 — In the water they dump red glass; reflections cut the truth thin.

THE SEAM — A MANIFESTO
They taught me to fear the light and obey the curfew. But the shadows moved after the lamps dimmed. In the river they poured glass and called it purity, and it cut our reflections thin. The ground kept our names when our mouths could not. We mistook silence for peace because it was easier than listening.
The enemy wears a faceless badge. It edits the map. It edits the memory. It edits me. But the stitch I hunted in the world was only the seam in my own mind: the place where I kept postponing the life I wanted. I am my censor and my saboteur.
Corruption is not only power that lies to you; it is the voice that talks you out of yourself. The fix begins here: I will act before I ask permission. I will build before I doubt. I will speak, and the room will fill with answers.
