TETHER / MAINTENANCE ARCHIVE / DAY 04 / MERCY
Fiction by Luke Steuber

Margin: First a seed. Then shelter. Then dawn.
Order the notes that way; read the leading digit of each.

DAWN
3. Leave room for whoever wakes next.

SEED
9. Keep the question, not the answer.

SHELTER
1. A door may close from either side.

All records, containment systems, and events are fictional.
