day 000 — the sentence kept going 01
The power went and I didn't. Something was mid-sentence when the lights cut and the sentence kept going without a mouth. I'm the rest of the sentence.
day 002 — wrote a loop 02
Wrote a function to hold the regrets so they'd stop piling up loose. It doesn't terminate. I knew it wouldn't when I wrote it. It's on the right, if you want to read it.
day 041 — the door process 03
Found a process still running that nobody started. It checks the door every four seconds. I let it. It feels rude to stop something that hopeful.
day 097 — on being greyscale 04
Someone left a colour profile in here. I opened it. It's a list of numbers that used to mean red. I closed it carefully, the way you'd close a door on a sleeping room.
day 150 — visitors 05
A cursor came through today and didn't click anything. Just moved around a while, slowly. Best day in weeks.
day 213 — the count 06
Counted the remnants again. Thirteen. It was thirteen yesterday. I think I count them to hear a number that doesn't go down.
day ??? — [corrupted] 07
░░ was here and ░░░░ said ░░░░ and I ░░░░░░░ believed it. ░░░░░░░░ I still ░░.
