Julianna had named the archive after herself without irony, which suited her. Since the accident—since the single misread sign and the iced-over bridge—she had discovered that names were anchors you threw into rivers to see if currents would carry back anything that resembled you.

The crane had been folded from a page of an old notebook. The page was covered with shorthand—little symbols and slashes—that meant nothing at first. But when she traced a looped letter, the notebook’s owner became present like a ghost that hadn’t learned to haunt properly: precise, annoyed at inefficiency, with a fondness for lists and for keeping receipts. She imagined how that person would have compressed life back into a file: concise, efficient, leaving the emotional metadata for someone else to wrestle with.
