Of course I saw it coming, how could I not? Like a tapeworm it nibbled at my gut for years, until suddenly there came a point when the light came on too strongly, penetrated too deeply. If I didn't act quickly it would seep into my wormholes and tear me open from the inside out. I knew that fightin it would fuck with the orbits of others, that it would throw everything off course.

Still, I couldn't move. A deer on an unlit road, I was ready to hit the glare.
