The Harm

The Harm

The harm comes.

The watchers watch. They record what happens as it happens. Every angle. Every second. The moment is preserved for later analysis.

The harmed becomes an object. A reference point. The center of a study. Pain translated into material. Displayed. Measured. Retained.

The witnesses see it. They remain visible. They do not speak. Their presence is noted and unchanged.

The harm ends, but the roles do not dissolve.

The record remains.

The object remains defined by what occurred.

The witnesses remain unmarked.

Nothing intervenes.

Nothing interrupts.
