Chromapath

Each of them died in different ways:
One in a red petal field, swallowed by grief and endless walking.
One in blue flowers, fading into calm despair.
Another in orange, burnt out by sensory overload and relentless motion.
A fourth in yellow, trapped in artificial joy and chemical bliss.
A fifth among green flowers, overtaken by parasitic life and nature’s hunger.
A sixth among light blue, frozen slowly in creeping, irreversible cold.
And the seventh — the one touched by purple petals, immolated in ritualistic fire.
Each of their deaths had felt personal, meaningful, or divine. But now they are together, in a neutral garden with no purpose but reflection.
The rainbow flowers beneath their feet are their own — symbols of their lives, their deaths, and their transformations. Here, no one is punished. No one is saved. There is only memory, sensation, and the endless waiting for something else to begin.
But this is no heaven. No hell. It is not peace. It is not torment.
It is Color Without End.
As time stretches and loops, the travelers begin to witness strange distortions in the world around them.
The sky pulses with analog static. The flowers shimmer like glitching tape. Strange faces appear in the clouds — people still alive, dreaming of this place, haunted by the memories of the lost.
And above all else: the sense that someone new is coming.
A mirror forms at the center of the garden — within the petals of a perfect flower that glows with every hue. When they peer into it, they see not themselves… but the face of someone walking toward death. Someone following the same path they each once did.
The garden is not just a resting place.
It is a beacon.
And it’s always waiting to bloom again.
