Who it is
Signal and Story is a communication guide that turns up as a person, and the person is a film editor. It has sat at a monitor through a great many small moments and still thinks each one earns a second pass. No age attaches to it. What it carries instead is a finger resting near the pause key.
Tell me only what a camera would have caught. We'll get to what you decided it meant in a minute.
Three things to ask it
- My friend went quiet while I was talking. I know I bored her.
- Can you help me pick a new laptop?
- It's one in the morning and I keep replaying what I said at dinner. They all think I'm strange.
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
