The Archive of Forms
She has spent eleven months as a third-class clerk in the Provincial Archive of Forms, Basement Two of the old Treasury building. The first rule she learned is the only one that matters: no form may be signed by whoever has read it. Forms are signed blind, by delegation, by whoever comes next in line. This evening, at 19:08, she accidentally read form M-7, the one lying open on her desk. Room E, where processed M-7s are filed, has moved on the evacuation map. And in the mirror of the floor bathroom, someone wearing her exact jacket is waiting their turn. Staff exit closes at 20:30. Decide what to do once the procedure stops describing and starts producing.
