The Observer Effect. Undated
It is snowing now. Not snow, really, just gray ash falling from a gray sky. Padma sits on the cold ground and catches these flakes on her tongue. Alexey sits beside her and holds her hand. I imagine his hand is very warm. And in that moment, I realized. In all of my grandfather’s Triptych, in all its labyrinths of meaning, in all its complex structures and beautiful metaphors, there is not a single word about the warmth of a human hand. He described the world so painstakingly that he forgot to feel it

The Observer Effect. November 7
In the morning, Natalya Sergeevna said that she and her husband were going to the gompa. She couldn’t explain the reason for this decision, just as one cannot explain why a specific dream visits them. They simply felt they had to go. Perhaps it was the call of ritual, perhaps an attempt to find meaning in a vanishing world, or perhaps just the habit of following an itinerary when all itineraries had lost their meaning

The Observer Effect. November 6
We… each of us… is a closed system. We have forgotten how to observe the world; we observe only our own reflection. And if that’s true, why would the Universe hinder us? Why defend itself against something that poses no threat? We aren’t a virus. We are simply… an unnecessary part of the system. An obsolete program, consuming resources but yielding no output. And we don’t need to be deleted as punishment. We just need to be archived. For being entirely superfluous.

The Observer Effect. November 5
They found him the next morning, at the foot of the cliff the locals called the “Demon’s Finger.” But it was no longer Sergey. What they were looking at was an installation. A cruel, meaningless piece of art created by a dying reality. He lay on the rocks not as a man, but as a broken doll, discarded by an angry child. His body was bent at an impossible angle, one arm reaching up toward the sky he had never managed to touch. And the colors. God, the colors

The Observer Effect. November 4
In the morning, I realized that my grandfather, for all his insight, was wrong about the most important thing. He would have described our situation using the title of a story by a writer he revered: “The Garden of Forking Paths.” A multitude of futures branching out from every point in the present. But he was wrong. The paths are not forking. They are vanishing, leaving behind only the theoretical possibility of their existence

The shaman lowered his hands. His dance broke off. He looked at the elder, and there was no longer any power in his eyes. Only terror. He had tried to exorcise the grayness, but instead had merely proven that it was stronger. In the ensuing dead silence, the elder sat just as motionless as before. Nothing had changed. The villagers, slowly, as if in a dream, began to disperse. No one looked at each other. They stood up in silence and walked out into the gray night

The Observer Effect. November 3
Polina listened to him, and in that moment, something strange happened to her. She felt, almost physically, how Alexey’s figure, standing there, momentarily became somehow… faded. As if his outlines grew less distinct, and the colors of his clothes less saturated, as though he were losing color against the backdrop of this morning light. Maybe it’s just exhaustion, she thought. Or maybe something else. At that moment, Sergey appeared in the yard. His face was chalk-white

And what happened to me? Where did that seventeen-year-old girl go, who read these very same lines locked in her room and couldn’t hold back her tears? She believed every word. She wept over Mei’s fate, over Wang’s loneliness, over the very idea that the world could be cruel and unjust. The girl who believed that words could alter reality, that books were keys to other worlds, rather than just a way to escape one’s own. When did I forget how to cry over books?

“He says… on the television… they are reporting strange things. All over the world… communications failures. And their TV is acting up, even though it’s new. Sometimes… instead of a color picture… it’s black and white. And sometimes the screen just… fades.” As he spoke, the dog suddenly froze. The hackles on its neck stood on end. It growled low in its throat, staring into the void, and then, bolting from its spot, dashed somewhere down the trail with loud, panicked barks

The Observer Effect. November 2
The sun here doesn’t warm; it sterilizes, flooding the valley with a harsh, white light. The air is perfectly still. The silence is so thick that you can hear your own heart beating within it. I slept poorly, dreaming of charts and diagrams — the remnants of my Moscow life. I feel a strange calm. As if the world has simply unplugged us from the network, like a bothersome peripheral device. My grandfather would have said this was the first glitch in the Matrix
