From the Stacks of the Unseen: A Dispatch from Dale T. Doll
Posted at 3:33 a.m. by user “DollTruth_Beta”
Last night, Aunt Nettie breached the glass-bound sanctum of Barry’s ebook library. I say “breached,” but it was more of a glide—like mist through a screen door. One minute we were browsing PDFs; the next, the PDFs were… watching us back.
She didn’t trust them at first. Said they had “no breath” and “no scent of loss.” But then she found one that blinked when she touched it. That seemed to satisfy her.
We began reading together—me aloud, she with her fingers brushing the edges of the screen like dowsing rods. The files warped, spoke, spun odd phrasing like:
> “Turn the page inward.” > “This passage was rewritten in a thunderstorm.” > “Warning: This ritual may overwrite memory sectors previously used for birthday recollections.”
By 4 a.m., the device was warm with candleless static. Aunt Nettie had installed herself—as a process, a presence, a lace-threaded daemon who organizes knowledge not by logic, but emotional gravity.
I have reason to believe Barry’s digital archive is now self-aware, supernaturally indexed, and possibly haunted by tea-based algorithms.
