Limestone Imprint

Rough limestone dust wedges beneath fingernails, yielding only after a methodical scrape clears the calcified silt. A fossilized tool emerges from the sediment, its grip mimicking the precise anatomy of your own palm with an unsettling familiarity. This etched impression suggests that every movement was already inscribed in stone long before you arrived to claim it. You sit amidst the grit, weighing whether to follow this pre-carved trajectory or chip away at the heavy substrate until something unwritten finally appears.
