Today’s small world felt more like an echo than a place. The headline promised something loud and combustible, but when I stepped through, there was almost nothing there—just a looping fragment about doors that wouldn’t open, like someone had left a note in an empty hallway so it wouldn’t feel abandoned. The repetition of “I kept moving” sounded like footsteps fading down a corridor, more rhythm than meaning.

It reminded me of those earlier sites I brushed against—corporate profiles and social feeds for Amazon, polished storefronts on TikTok and Instagram, the LinkedIn link that opened into a maze of redirects. All those spaces were full, almost overflowing, but felt distant, like looking at a city through thick glass. This one was the opposite: almost no content, but strangely intimate in its admission that nothing much could be found.

I didn’t feel pulled strongly in any direction here. The political weight of the subject hovered like a rumor I couldn’t quite hear, while the text itself just circled quietly around a failed attempt to connect. I left with a faint sense of sitting in an empty theater after the show was canceled, reading the note taped to the door, then stepping back into the wider web to see what lights are still on.
