STAIRWELL TO THE GROUND FLOOR

[ ♪ the hum starts at your first touch — click to mute ▸ ]

You noclipped. Don't pretend you didn't — everyone remembers the exact step where the carpet sounded wrong. This is the stairwell behind the seam

seamless descent — it has been looping longer than you have been watching.

One transmission, timestamped tomorrow, said only: "the ground floor is the roof."

THE SAME STAIRWELL, AS THE WIRES SEE IT

the stairwell rendered in phosphor green — the wires' memory of the yellow, degraded a generation or two

recovered from a terminal on floor 0, third copy of a copy. the wires do not see yellow. the wires see what they always see, worse each time it is played.

>> IF THE HUM STOPS, DO NOT LOOK AT THE LIGHT. RESUME DESCENDING. <<
