Ignition Cognition
The needle eased in between skin cells into the vein. Entry, and the mix of the synthetic dose began its journey.
One thought faded, another, nothing replaced it.
The trauma of the impending unknown faded, confusion remained.
A silenced cognition from the dulled receptors.
Agonist competing with neurotransmitters on axon receptors.
No new memories meant, time and place were obscured in the mind.
They drift past like smoke.
The hint of a fire, evidence something happened, the scent of a moment.
The magnetic field of a planet yet the interminable nothing remains.
Mother looked out the window.
"You can see the sea from here."
