you’re in a room with no windows. just a flickering TV, a couch that smells like someone else’s house, and one closed door.

do you stay? or open the door?

[sunlitarchives]

i miss versions of me i never got to be. the ones that stayed in the places i left behind.

[sunlitarchives]

"how long have you lived here?" “i don't. i just never left.”

archive fragment 017b

📎 attached: – voicemail with no sound – torn receipt dated 2 years from now – polaroid of a place i’ve never been

note scribbled in red ink:

“if you find this, don’t answer the second call.”

[sunlitarchives]

i forgot what i was looking for.

i’ve walked through five doorways today and not remembered why. each room felt familiar— but none were mine.

maybe i was never supposed to find it. maybe i already did.

[sunlitarchives]

the bell hasn’t rung in years. but the air still feels like it’s waiting.

[sunlitarchives]

i keep losing things

keys, time, sleep, whole weeks slip between the cracks.

but what really scares me is how i keep losing versions of myself that never came back.

Archived Note 0037

found scrawled in chalk behind the old locker:

“she said she’d be back before the light changed. it’s been 9 years. the light hasn’t moved.”

[sunlitarchives]

i dreamed of a stairwell that went both up and down at the same time. the lights flickered in morse code. something at the bottom was breathing. but the top wasn’t any safer.

[sunlitarchives]

what happens in the spaces between days?

not night. not morning. just that in-between place where time hums low and no one looks at the clock.

i think that’s where i live now.

[sunlitarchives]

what was the strangest dream you ever had? tell me everything. no matter how small. i’m keeping records.

unusual inventory log, page 35

one glove, never worn

voice recorder with no tape

envelope sealed with wax, no address

pair of glasses that show places you’ve never been

wind chimes that only ring when you forget something important

[sunlitarchives]

“i am not lonely. i am haunted by too many things.”

what’s in your dream inventory?

you have 3 slots. what are you carrying in the dream you can’t wake up from?

💾 a cassette labeled “DO NOT PLAY” 📕 a journal with someone else’s handwriting 📡 a beeping device you don’t know how to use

somewhere between the waiting room and nowhere. the carpet smells like summer camp. the lights never turn off. i’m the only one here… i think.
