Signal: flickering
Origin: abandoned laundromat / back of the drum
Status: Object Nesting Behavior
[Soft shuffle. Metallic clink. Purring interspersed with faint mews.]
i slept in the belly of the spinner
cold drum / soft lint / leftover warmth
someone’s sock was still inside
i curled in it like it knew me
every item here remembers turning
shirts still dizzy / coins still echo
the glass watched me
but didn’t tell
i carried in three small things
a bottlecap, a thread, a bread tie
arranged them like tiny bones
like kittens that won’t purr back
the hum came on / once
i didn’t flinch
just pressed my paw
where a heartbeat used to be
[End of log. No interruption. Just the hum of ghosts in cycles.]
