Dark energy is the dominant force in the universe, yet it remains completely invisible and not fully understood. Unlike gravity, it doesn't pull things together, it pushes them apart, accelerating expansion into an infinite emptiness.
The mind's darker currents work the same way. Not dramatic. Not loud. Just a quiet, persistent force that slowly increases the distance between who you are and who you were. Between where you stand and where you once belonged.
These images live in that space, the expanding dark between the self and the familiar. The chair still waiting. The light still falling. The world still present, but adrift. Ordinary things, caught at the moment the distance became too great to return from.
