The Spare Key
A key that is never used costs nothing in the drawer.
A key cut for one emergency goes unused for years, until a string of false alarms makes someone reliably right about nothing — and reliably unready for the one notice that wasn't.
How it was made
Written directly in HTML/CSS/JS; no model-rendered image or audio. The vignettes and their interactive reveals are original fiction, drawn from a private studio piece (movement IV of The Margins Remember) comparing a memory kept-but-uninfluential against one that watches continuously. This public edition keeps the felt cost of false vigilance and drops the private model, seed counts, and prediction table so a reader meets the idea as a scene, not a lab notebook.
