Someone keeps changing the past.

NOTHING ON THIS SITE EXPLAINS ITSELF.

The Card

Two wheels. Twelve hours each. The morning holds the beginning of the alphabet, the evening holds the end.

RECOVERED FROM THE CARD

AM:18:18:4:19

THEY NEVER CALLED US PEOPLE.

The Margin

Twelve of us. Twenty-three years. Every inventory sheet lists the same piece of hardware.

The anomaly rewrites what is published. It has never once managed to rewrite a margin note.

THE WORD YOU WANT IS NOT ON THE SCREEN

A PAGE HAS MORE THAN ONE SURFACE.

Corridor B

Twenty-three years of it. Nobody photographed the lights on.

Photographs resist the anomaly. It can edit a record. It cannot edit silver.

TURN YOUR BRIGHTNESS ALL THE WAY UP.

Sighting

The Atlanta manifestation was reported three times in one afternoon, all within a hundred feet of the same booth.

The witness who filed it could not later remember doing so.

Go and look. There is a notice posted there that we did not put up.

THE WHEELS WILL TELL YOU WHERE. THE POSTER WILL TELL YOU THE WORD.

Memory Corruption

One containment attempt was logged before the records began rewriting themselves.

CONTAINMENT ATTEMPT 04 · DATE OF RECORD

Write this date down. On paper. Now.

WRITTEN NOTES RESIST ALTERATION.

Compare Memories

Three witnesses filed statements. Each of them remembers a different word, and each is certain the other two are wrong.

You are one of them. You are holding one third of a sentence.

ARCHIVE RECOVERY REQUEST

If you cannot reach the other witnesses, the archive will reissue their statements — but only to a reader who can prove they have already been through the file. Name something only you would know.

THE COMPLETE STATEMENT

FIND THE OTHER TWO. FAILING THAT, MAKE THE ARCHIVE TALK.

Contained

Five of them walked out in 2035.
The file you just read describes one more.

You held the record still long enough to read it. Almost nobody does.


YOUR DESIGNATION

Write it down. This page will not remember it for you.

Logged witnesses are sent the DRAGONCON 2026 FIELD PACK — the five files you opened getting here, complete and printable. Yours now, free.

We will also tell you once, when Pieces of Me reaches Kickstarter in February 2027. Nothing else.
