Anomaly Files

People are quietly erased from their accounts, from friends' memories, from every record. But show the person concerned a piece of footage, and the memory occasionally loosens.

On a missing person's wall, all 41 photos have a ring of greyish-white around the right pupil. Measure them over several days, and the face draws nearer, day by day, to someone's memory.

In the small hours, signs occasionally 'flicker'—familiar characters turn into block-glyphs no one can recognize. Yet those who see them say they 'know the meaning.'
