The Annex kept records.
Then the records kept her.
A brass mouth on the wall.
Canvas pouches fed like clockwork.
One jammed — then cleared.
Only the pouch came out.
The clerk didn’t.
By the time anyone looked,
her cart was still rolling.
The ledger still drying.
Her paperclip still on the floor.
They called it a missed route.
A forgotten break.
But buildings don’t forget.
Ena’s reopened the file.
You shouldn’t have leaned in.
📎 Listen before closing time.
