* WHAT IS IN ROOM 23 *

you find your own footprints going the other way. they are wet. they are still being made.

the ceiling clears its throat. everyone in the room agrees not to mention it.

there is a chair facing the corner. the chair has your posture. the chair is doing better than you.

you have gone deep enough that the cabin considers you furniture. sit still. be useful.

* THE ARCHIVE — DRAWER 23 (DAMP, SWOLLEN) *

filing cabinet found unlocked. everything inside is about burps, the future, and OMO. nobody here can explain why. click a file. you will not understand it. that is the correct outcome. understanding is a fire hazard.

* WALL WRITING (VARIOUS HANDS) *

"i have read every file. i now know less than the carpet."

"THE BURP CAME FIRST. THE MOUTH WAS BUILT AFTERWARDS."

"room 23 is not the real room 23"

"OMO WAS NEVER A WORD. WE JUST GOT TIRED."

"if you can read this you are still being digested — enjoy"

the archive stores the future in the damp drawer because it keeps rising otherwise. do not open the future while eating. it opens back.
