Tape 001

I’m recording this in the truck. I started by giving her a name, because I don't know who else to talk to. I saw them changing a streetlamp today—a guy just looking at me looking at him. It didn’t feel like maintenance.

There was a car following me for a while, but it turned off. Now I’m looking at this red Subaru that’s always outside the laundromat. It doesn't matter what time it is, it’s just there. Like a glitch. I can't stop thinking about that Cave philosophy... the idea that the headlights in my rearview aren't just lights, but meanings I haven't decoded yet. I’m rambling, I know. I just have to get this down in case I can't record a second one.

FILE STATUS: ACTIVE

PROTOCOL: These tapes are recorded in-situ. I do not exit the vehicle while the recorder is active. If a gap in the sequence exceeds 72 hours, assume the drop zone has been compromised.

NOTICE: If you see the "Maintenance" crews, do not acknowledge them. They are part of the architecture. If you are being followed, do not go home. Just keep driving.
