An open record of things people cannot explain

Glitches in the matrix

Accounts where the world did not match itself


People describe a road that was not there the second time, a building remembered wrongly by everybody but them, a moment that repeated, a familiarity that made no sense. The phrase belongs to the internet rather than to any textbook, and there is no reference page for it anywhere. This is the closest thing to a record.

92
accounts in the record touch this. Each one was written by somebody who decided not to let it go.
