Anomaly Files

People are wiped, quietly, from their accounts, from their friends' memories, from every record. But show the person concerned a piece of footage and the memory will now and then loosen.

41 photographs on a missing man's wall, every one with a ring of grey-white around the right pupil. Measure them several days running and the face creeps closer, day by day, to what someone remembers.

In the small hours a sign will now and then "flicker," and familiar characters turn into block characters nobody can read. The people who see them say they "know what they mean."
