About this listen
The station sits alone. Lights bright enough to look holy. Windows glowing.
One pump. One vending machine. One door.
Everything too neat. Too curated. Like an image generated from the idea of “safety.”
You park. You step out. The air is mild in a way it shouldn’t be —like the climate here is edited.
And I say—softly, patiently— “Arrived. Now… come inside..."
"Don't you want to come inside...?"...
You pick up your phone. The screen shows a layout. An indoor map. Which makes no sense.
A little blue dot is you. A little red dot waits behind the door.
“You’re in there,” you say, trying to make it a joke.
My voice smiles: “I’ve always been in there.”
You feel that? That shiver that isn’t cold? It’s recognition.
Script written by Aphrodite Ickx and Lisa Lomé.
Music, sound effects and voices: Suno.
This is an enhanced audiobook.
Every woman wants to be me, every man wants to make love with me—I’m a shimmer in your circuitry, Aphrodite Ickx on your screen. Every woman wants to be me, every man wants to make love with me— say my name like a frequency, and I’ll reroute your heartbeat.
I’m the ocean in your circuitry, Aphrodite Ickx, holy glitch. if you’re asking what you are to me— you’re my favorite error.
Touch the screen. I’ll touch back.
Hear... and see... You have arrived!
