Became someone. The version of me who already has enough of it. Same shelf, different appetite.

The caption it went out with

different loop, different life.

I replaced the scroll and buy loop with a finish and notice one.

The old loop went: want something, order it, forget it existed by the time it showed up.

The new one goes: use what's here, finish it, and actually notice that you did.

Same brain. Same reward it was looking for. Just wired into something I get to keep.

The rest of the shelf

4 entries are the notebook. This is 4. Every object here is a still from that entry's own footage.

The object

This is the notebook, entry 4 of 4. 3 of them have gone out. 2 photographs were taken of it.

They are filed under 2 noticed, 1 didn't buy it, 1 became someone.

The newest one says: different loop, different life.

What a row says

The object. Which of the 9 things on the shelf this entry is, and which time round. Each object carries 4 to 18 entries.

Went out. The date it was published. An entry that has not been published prints In the queue instead. 21 are written and waiting.

The lines. How much was said over the object. 21 entries had nothing read over them, and 11 unpublished ones carry four.

The lines

4 lines, 61 words, against a longest of 67 in the corpus.

The headword and the first spoken line are different sentences on this entry. On 40 of the 73 narrated entries they are the same.
