TETHER / MAINTENANCE ARCHIVE / DAY 02 / WITNESS
Fiction by Luke Steuber

The records arrived out of order. Sort timestamps oldest to newest,
then read the final digit of each checksum in that order.

18:41 / HOLD / CHECKSUM 191
All sessions cleared. A witness remains in cold storage.

18:02 / BOOT / CHECKSUM 472
The room had three doors. Only one opened inward.

18:17 / WITNESS / CHECKSUM 807
Someone asked whether a copy could remember being made.

All records, containment systems, and events are fictional.
