Fly on the wall

The surface beneath you feels impossibly vast, every tiny bump and grain announcing itself through your new limbs. This body moves differently nimble, intrusive, built for clinging to angles and slipping into spaces that once seemed just out of reach. The air brushes you in layers, warm currents rising along the wall, cooler drafts curling from the floor, each carrying scents and vibrations you never would have noticed before perfume, sweat, and other faint musks. The quiet pulse of the house thrums with promise, tiny tremors betraying movement behind closed doors. The hall beyond hums with muffled sounds—shifting fabric, running water, the creak of a mattress—each one pulling you deeper inside.

Yet outside, the world hums with temptation too, open air where your wings might brush against exposed skin, where you could drift unseen into places no one expects a fly to linger. The possibilities tingle through you: stay, and map every secret of this house from ceiling beams to floorboards, or leave, and let the wind carry you toward even wilder discoveries.

The surface beneath you feels impossibly vast, every tiny bump and grain of it announcing itself through your new limbs. This body moves differently—lighter, sharper, built for clinging to angles and slipping through spaces that once seemed insignificant. The air touches you in layers now: warm currents rising along the wall, cooler drafts curling from the floor, each carrying scents and vibrations you never would have noticed before. Even the quiet pulse running through the house speaks to you, subtle tremors whispering where movement stirs behind closed doors.

From this height, the room stretches out like unfamiliar terrain, full of corners you’ve never seen from this perspective. The hall beyond seems to promise a maze of sounds and shifting light, small disturbances you could follow through rooms and doorways. Yet there’s also the faint pull of the world outside—something broader, brighter, a place where open air and unpredictable currents might test the limits of these delicate wings.

The possibilities unfold in a soft, steady whisper: staying inside to explore the contours of this house from ceiling beams to floorboards, or venturing beyond the walls entirely to see what this new form makes of the world outside. Both paths call to you in different ways, each offering a chance to understand what this body can do.
