things i know for certain

- they are not a government in the traditional sense
- they operate inside existing infrastructure
- most people who get flagged never know they were flagged
- the ones who figure it out are the ones who disappear

things i think i know

- Protocol Zero is not a name they gave themselves
- it is a designation used internally by the people who monitor them
- zero because it predates everything else
- it is the first rule. before all other rules.

things i cannot explain

- why the files keep moving
- why my browser history shows searches i did not make
- why the light in the hallway was on this morning
  i did not leave it on

i need to be more careful about how i write this down
if they found the other folder they know i know
if they know i know then this is already over

but maybe thats why i am still writing
because stopping feels worse than continuing

the watched dont disappear because they are dangerous
they disappear because they SEE
and once you see you cannot pretend you dont

i am trying to write something that survives me
in case

if you are reading this then i am already gone
not dead. gone is different.

they found me because i got close.
i dont know how close but close enough.

i wont explain what they are because you wouldnt believe me yet.
you have to find it yourself or it means nothing.

start here:

4D6F726E696E6720636F6D657320666F7220657665727920
6F6E6520657863657074207468652077617463686564

if you find what i found, you will understand why i left.
if you dont find it, it means they got to this too.

good luck. be careful who you tell.

there is one more thing.

i left something where the books remember everything people forget.
027.4 / shelf 3 / third from left.
the city is the one that stays cold longest.

you will know when you find it.

THE WATCHED — working theory (draft 4)

Protocol Zero does not watch everyone.
It cannot. The resources required would be impossible.

It watches the ones who start looking.

The trigger is not what you know.
The trigger is that you are looking.

Most people who stumble across a thread never pull it.
They see something strange. They move on.
Their lives continue. They are never flagged.

The ones who get flagged are the ones who cannot let go.
Who pull the thread. Who follow it deeper.
Who start connecting things that were not meant to be connected.

That is the mechanism.
Not surveillance of everyone.
Surveillance of the curious.

morning comes for every one except the watched

I think this line means something specific.
Morning = normalcy. The regular rhythm of a life.
It comes for everyone who stays inside the boundary.

The watched stepped outside the boundary.
So morning stopped coming for them.
Not as punishment.
As consequence.

The watched are not prisoners.
They are people who saw the door and walked through it.
The door does not go back.

I walked through the door.
I think I walked through it a long time ago
and only just realized.

if you are reading this you probably did too.

people i found who got close

[name redacted] — gone: february. city: [redacted]. got as far as the third room.
[name redacted] — gone: august. city: [redacted]. found the library.
[name redacted] — gone: [redacted]. i do not know how far they got.

i am not writing real names here
not because i do not know them
because i do not want this to be the thing that connects them

if you found this file in the recycle bin
you are already past where most people stop

the ones on this list are not dead
at least i do not think they are dead
gone is different

i deleted this file because having it felt like evidence
of something i did not want to have evidence of

i do not know why the recycle bin keeps it
i have emptied it three times

i need to say this somewhere even if i delete it

i am not scared of what happens to me
i made peace with that a long time ago

i am scared that nobody will look
that the file will sit on the laptop and
the laptop will get sold and
that will be the end of it

i am scared that my brother will think i left because of him
i did not leave because of him
i left because staying would have put him in the same position i am in

if you are my brother reading this
it was not you
it was never you
i am sorry i could not explain it before i had to go

if you are not my brother
thank you for looking
it means more than i can say in a text file

delete this when you are done reading
i deleted it already
obviously that did not work
