They enter in suits, dreams folded neatly beneath their arms, eyes fixed on a horizon painted green. No one speaks. No one strays. The path is paved in familiar silence, leading to a mouth that smiles without lips, the threshold of forgetting. Inside, time thins. Morals dissolve. Selfhood flickers like a dying bulb. They exit lighter, stripped to bone, still walking, still hoping, not realizing they’ve already arrived at the price they once swore they’d never pay.
