ascorbic interference 

When one's presence burns the mold off someone's soul. They flinch, then blink, then breathe.

Ascorbic interference is when something pure and necessary disrupts decay. Not softly. Not politely. But with brightness. With sting. With chemistry that cannot be ignored.

Change of the conditions, breaking the silence and oxygenating the swamp.

I didn't mean to disrupt him--I was just being myself. But I realize now, my presence was a kind of ascorbic interference: cleansing, stinging, impossible to ignore.

The shift in his behavior wasn't gradual; it came after a moment of ascorbic interference--someone finally told the truth and the system reacted like it had touched acid.

She entered like citrus on a wound--ascorbic interference in its purest form. Not to destroy, but to awaken the flesh.

If he's mad, let him be. I wasn't attacking him---I was performing ascorbic interference. That's love, not betrayal.
