This place I have never been to, only existing inside my phone. An in-between space I continuously return to in dreams, looking for all of the messages I unsent at 2am. Where do blocked iMessages go? In the tranquil waters of the 24,904 images I own. My body dissolves into the still, glassy waters of 24,904 screenshots.

This is where I want to be, 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳.
