The Atoms of Reality

(2020)

 

SYNOPSIS

 

It was like a dream, filled with grave

perfumes, with limpidity and sensuous

chimes. A misplaced device in a turbid

instant where the mechanisms of humility

ring out. A crack obscurely revealing the

entrails of nothingness. The memory of

surfaces hit by translucent instruments.

A well where the atoms of reality loudly

dissolve. It was like a dream, filled with

grave perfumes.
