    Summary

    Five times Alhaitham out-pettied Kaveh with the patience of a scholar and the instincts of a cat knocking things off tables on purpose (involving oranges, file renaming, the eradication of glittering drapery, weaponized laundry competence, and a public symposium plant-related ambush). And one time Kaveh beat him at his own game by refusing to play defense at all.

    Experiments were dangerous and risky, and that was a statement the researchers were very aware of.

    But so is the connection forming between the researcher and creature.

    Summary

    Frederick Kreiburg struggled with hearing different things on the daily basis, but music could always quieten then.

    But this time, with music he played, came another voice, sound? Hard to give it a name.

    He wanted to make it stop, but with the time passing his urge to make it stop disappeared.

    Summary

    “If you are ever interested in a conversation,” he said, offering it, “you may reach me here. Just in case.”

    Frederick took the card slowly. There was no telephone number. No actual business. Just an address—somewhere in the 7th arrondissement—and the name “Orpheus” printed in elegant serif.

    No surname. No title.

    Frederick looked up, but Orpheus had already begun walking away, each footstep sounding like a soft key pressed on a piano lid. As he turned the corner, he paused once, looking back just long enough to say:

    “Don’t lose that card. Doors open only once, Mr. Kreiburg.”

    And then he was gone.

    —————

    or: never fucking open doors that open only once. lock that shit.
