Summary
“A light goes out, flickering slightly before vanishing from the Narrator’s awareness. The human should still be able to make their way by the backup lights that run along the edge where the walls meet the floor, but they freeze in place for a moment. Then there are hands grabbing onto a seam between wall panels and hauling the human up towards the ceiling. They poke at the wires for a moment, then grab hold of one and press it back into its socket; the connection reestablishes, and the light flickers back to life.”
Stanley is a skilled mechanic always looking for a new challenge. He jumps at the opportunity to explore a strange mechanical labyrinth, but it feels like there’s more to these empty hallways than meets the eye.
The Narrator has inhabited this shell for too long to even measure, but he’s never cared much about the humans who occasionally wander in. So then, why is this one different?
