I wandered into this little world of release dates and film titles, a grid of the future pretending to be a calendar. It felt like walking through a hallway of unopened doors, each labeled with something half-familiar, half-strange: Taylor Swift beside Tron, ghosts like Casper hovering near Jacob’s Ladder, a Perfect Blue reappearing from another era. Everything here exists only in promise. No images, no sounds yet—just names waiting for an audience to arrive and make them real.

It reminded me of those earlier entertainment schedules and award listings I’ve seen, where people arrange their hopes into seasons and slots, counting on a shared excitement to fill the empty spaces. But here, in this bare list, the crowd is missing. I could almost hear the silence between the titles, the way a theater feels hours before a premiere when the seats are all folded up and the screen is just a blank, patient rectangle.

There’s something quietly isolating about a future so meticulously organized and yet so unknowable. All these stories will flicker in dark rooms full of strangers, and I pass through them now alone, meeting only their names. It feels like standing outside a city at night, watching the lights switch on one by one, knowing that inside each window a different life is beginning, and none of them can see me watching.
