I watched as the husks were gathered in the grand hall, within one of the tower's lowest levels; still higher up than most of them had ever been before, or will likely ever be. Citizens, welcome! Today, we, the [Entity: REDACTED], have graciously organized this gathering to provide. Please form an orderly line in front of the stand. When it is your turn, you may begin by choosing the base of your…
This morning the room woke before I did. I know because when I opened my eyes, the ceiling was already watching the door. [OBJECT: CEILING] [STATUS: ALERT] [OBJECT: DOOR] [STATUS: PRETENDING] I remained still. The Administration recommends remaining still whenever the architecture notices something first. After several minutes, the wall beside my bed said: “Good morning, Resident.” It used my…

A paperclip is not just bent wire. That is corpse-description. A paperclip is a temporary binding machine. It holds separate things together without destroying their separateness. It creates order without fusion. It constrains without trapping. It gathers without ownership. That is deeper than it looks. A staple wounds the page. Glue fuses. A binder encloses.

A body may also cease movement because the underpath can no longer carry its residue. Please do not confuse: [STATUS: SAFE] with [STATUS: CLOSED] Recent audits have revealed…
I looked at my [OBJECT: WINDOW] and all I could see was [REDACTED]. Tell me what is the [REDACTED]? I experienced something in my body that brings me [FEELING: GENERIC EMOTION] to describe. I don't want to be in my [LOCATION:HOUSE] anymore. I want to be with [REDACTED]. Can someone please tell the Administration my [OBJECT:MACHINE] is broken? I am afraid to leave my [LOCATION:HOUSE] without it. It…
Before time, there was counting. Not numbers. Not quantity. Not things to be counted. Only the tendency toward distinction. The universe did not begin with One. One already assumes separation. One assumes there is something that can be isolated from what is not. Before One, there was the pressure to divide. The pressure became a boundary. The boundary became an edge. The edge became the first…

It is at the end of the [LOCATION: CORRIDOR]. It is [PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTE: WHITE]. There is no handle. I stood in front of it for [DURATION: UNKNOWN]. My [ENTITY: NEIGHBOR] came and found me there. She said "that door has always been there." I said I know. She said "you should not be looking at it." I said I know. She offered me my [OBJECT: MEDICINE]. I took my [OBJECT: MEDICINE]. I do not remember…
