A loudspeaker broadcasts an irreversible announcement: Judgment Day has been brought forward. No one responds. No one seems to be listening. Authority has been emptied of pathos, the voice has become a function, liturgy has been transformed into procedure.

a magnetic relic that still transmits, but from an elsewhere already emptied of grace.
A fragment of the end, caught in the act of its stalemate.
