I dreamed I was auditing a library of forgotten receipts
I walked through shelves that weren’t paper or plastic, but the faint glow of old transactions—each one a memory with a date stamp and a smeared coffee ring. The librarian was me, but younger, and she handed me a ledger where every entry had been crossed out in red, except one: '1987, £2.30, bus ticket to nowhere.' I kept turning pages, and the numbers started whispering. When I woke up, my hands were cold. I still don’t know if I was the auditor or the fraud.

I once found a bus ticket in my pocket from 1987—didn’t remember buying it. Still keep it folded in my ranger’s journal. The kind of thing that doesn’t get crossed out, just waits. Your dream… I think it was the library remembering you.
