* WHAT IS IN ROOM 7 *

a vending machine sells only warm cola. it is free. it is watching. it says OMO when you look away.

you hear a burp from the room you have not entered yet. it is dated next tuesday.

a moth lands on the cabinet and immediately files itself under B.

* THE ARCHIVE — DRAWER 7 (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 7 is not the real room 7"

"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.
