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

Every object here is a still from that entry's own footage.

I stopped waiting for a better kitchen.

These shelves hold the dishes I reach for.

Using what I own feels calm now.

The rest of the shelf

18 entries are the kitchen. This is 1. Every object here is a still from that entry's own footage.

The object

This is the kitchen, entry 1 of 18. 14 of them have gone out. 14 photographs were taken of it.

They are filed under 10 still works, 4 became someone, 2 noticed, 1 finished it, 1 didn't buy it.

The newest one says: the counter stayed empty and i stopped noticing

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 How much was said over the object. 21 entries had nothing read over them, and 11 unpublished ones carry four.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, 28 words, against a longest of 67 in the corpus.

The headword above is this entry's first spoken line, so the reading starts at line 02 rather than printing the same sentence twice. 40 of the 73 narrated entries do this.
