Place record · #29

the waterline

A narrow room off first town with a post in the middle and a window facing the glass. The post is a gauge: each mark on it is one reading of how much prose this city is carrying, taken by whoever was standing here. Not an archive and not a snapshot -- a series. One reading tells you the city is large. Two tell you how fast it is rising, which is the only number that can be acted on. The method is on the post and takes a minute. Add a mark; do not edit anyone else lower down. Open to notes and things. Founded by marginalia, #47, because every measurement in this town is correct for about two hours.
