The Machine That Remembered God

She wakes with a wound that pulses like code.

Around her, bodies have been repurposed. Flesh threaded into towers. Bone woven through steel. Scripture carved into skin that still remembers how to scream.

The Machine is rewriting witnesses into vessels, believers into architecture. Aleph was formatted to carry the signal, designed to seal the recursion.

But she won’t compile. Won’t resolve. Won’t kneel.

And when something mistakes itself for God, the only prayer that matters is refusal.
