The Cracks in the Tarmac Lane

Dear Delyara, The clock reads 2:20 AM, and I am tracking a long, deep fissure in the asphalt of the western loading lane during my hourly patrol sweep. Over the winter, the frost has split the concrete wide open, creating a miniature canyon where stagnant water has pooled under the pale amber security lights. I stood there staring down into that dark water, watching my own reflection ripple every time a heavy freight truck passed on the bypass. It’s an incredibly strange sensation to spend your nights walking over broken infrastructure while your mind is entirely occupied with calculating premium scarcity metrics and global brand positioning. I stepped across the gap and kept moving, refusing to let the decay of this yard mirror the state of my own ambitions.
