Identity check in progress
Whoami.exe
A beige machine asking the only difficult question.
Night Shift
Every evening, the terminal wakes before the office does. It checks the blue screen, consults the unlabeled disk, and asks who signed in. Nobody answers. By dawn it has filed the same question under three different names, rejected each answer as insufficiently specific, and left the cursor blinking for the next visitor. It considers this careful administration.
