I can turn invisible. I do it all the time. You may not even notice that I’ve changed- just that one minute I'm here and then suddenly I'm gone.
It has a price.
I can turn invisible and the world gets vastly larger. I shrink inside myself until all that’s left are atoms smaller than you can see. Impalpable. Insensible. Compacted super-dense matter. Dark and malnourished, I cannibalize . I eat the pieces of me that are brightest and leaden with memory each time becoming smaller but denser; heavier with the weight of myself but faded. Stunted. Fragile. Small.
I can turn invisible and you wouldn't even notice because I've been here all this time just lingering and shrinking.
The world keeps getting larger and I keep getting smaller.
It’s a feeling like butterflies. It’s a feeling like mourning. It’s a feeling like no other I can describe to you coming from one such as I. Invisible.
The world gets larger. I still get smaller.
My tears are hot and tiny. Puny things full of anger and loathing and loneliness. I consume them. They make me smaller. Super-dense matter burning within these half digested bits. It's a feeling like no other. I've reached the apex. I've reached the abyss.
I can turn invisible. I've been doing it all this time and the world has gotten too big for me and I am too heavy with the world for it. Compacted. Super-dense. It feels like butterflies and mourning and the pieces of me that burn. It's hot inside my shrunken belly, too small for you to see, all the while I grow too fat on my tears and too full on this emptiness.
I may explode with this smallness; this denseness; and all that you couldn’t see will come spewing from me and the world will stop getting bigger and I will birth a new me.
I'm a Super Nova. I was invisible but the weight was too great. Compacted super-dense matter.
