LOW-POWER STATE
— a January incident report
January isn’t cruel. It’s procedural
A winter seen from inside a system trained to endure without mercy, where silence becomes strategy and survival is logged, not felt
Cold doesn’t rage. It waits.

With its focus on “how we define moments in time and associate them with a particular song,” we had an emotional response to reading Alex Stolis’ Soundtrack, and we think you will, too.

It is a spell book of sorts for when the lucid dream gets out of control.
It is a reminder that we are in control. That we are stronger than we think. That we are more than the sum of our parts.
