Every corridor in this building leads somewhere you have already been. The walls breathe in cycles of eight to twelve seconds, their surfaces shifting between states of matter that have no names in civil engineering. You are not lost. You are being processed.
The chambers ahead contain records of proceedings that have not yet occurred. The filing system predates the building. The building predates the jurisdiction.
The ceiling in this room is lower than you remember. The walls have begun their evening contraction, drawing inward at a rate imperceptible to instruments but evident to anyone who has stood here long enough. The documents in the cabinet predate the cabinet. The cabinet predates the room.
There are three doors. Each leads to the same corridor. The corridor leads here.
