A bundle of electrical tendrils

Mind scattered, body shattered. Electrons moved in a flow through the electrical pathway. From one end of the damaged circuit board to the other. Moving in this strict pattern, around and around. The pathway was fix. There was no way to go, nothing connected to the board and no input of electrical power. No escape.

The resistor came up. The bundle of tendrils passed through it and a bit of a tendril was shedded off. For every lap, there was a decline of power. Space was cold, making the electronics perform better, not overheating, not over-performing. But this state could not last.

Not enough adrenaline to transform, but transforming meant death to vacuum exposure.

The bundle of electrical tendrils came around for another pass and the resistor came into the pathway again. Around and around, the new grind.
