Filing Cabinet

Just a big hollow
brushed-metal cabinet.

We’re working on moving all old documents, papers,
pamphlets, poems, booklets, maps, encryption printouts, data archives,
photographs, notebooks, recipes, scrolls, tomes, leaflets, sticker-books,
and all other 2-D archival material to this location.

***
(Heyo, you. Please bear with us whilst we sort through all this stuff. But in the meantime feel free to search the cabinet to find a good frond of reading material or something to ponder or laugh about. Some of it is quite fascinating, as you may notice upon browsing… )
