I am Michael Shelley, previously an archivist assistant at the Magnus Institute, currently a shifting concept only loosely tied to reality.
I'm not in the Spiral anymore, and can mostly hold onto a sense of self.

Don't get me wrong, I have no attachment to Jonathan Sims, but this REALLY does make it a rather... Consistent habit by this point.

Not really everyone's just praying on Jon's downfall rn #fingerscrossed
So it really IS a hobby there, isn't it?

I'm sorry to hear that. Hope the place blows up one day 🤞
I was kind of forced.

Alright. Not counting the previous archivist and staff, how many have you lost again?...

Well your first mistake was working there. But... I won't. I'm not going to start any fights there. I do intend to see about some worker's comp, however.
Man I just work here I just don't want to see an altercation between the previous throat of delusion incarnate and the current throat of delusion incarnate.
Wow, you know, I'm trying to remember what caused that "anomalous" existence to even happen... Oh, right! It was a job I was sent on while working as an assistant in the Institute Archives. Crazy how that happens, isn't it?

You know, I almost wish I could've seen that.
I wasn't here when it happened, you didint hear it from me but it was rumoured that some breekon and hope employee pulled a "prank" by bringing two coffins. we now know that's probably not what happened though. It's a long story...

God we wish, he's still giving off "brain waves" the immortal son of a gun. Or that's what we're told by the doctors.
I see the Magnus Institute has kept up its streak of killing its Archive staff. Don't work there haha.

Your existence is anomalous and most likely hazardous, just as a PSA do NOT come near the institute you're the last thing we need right now.
You would think escaping the spiral would return your sense of sanity. You would be wrong.

Does anyone here actually know what happened to Emma Harvey and Sarah Carpenter? I found the reports that said they died in separate fires. I couldn't find anything else about it though.

I can only guess suddenly getting dizzy because it feels like the floors and walls are twisting around me are another side effect :/

What do you mean your job offers a 401K? Mine just gave me trauma and chronic pain. Fun fact! Your mind is not the only thing the spiral distorts, and human bones don't like that!! I guess if I stayed there, my bones probably would've stopped being human ones.

This bowling alley feels like the Stranger to me.

Americans make this look very easy. I think my fingers are too long to hold the ball right.
The people I'm living with are taking me bowling! I don't think I've ever actually been before. I'm not sure what to expect, but it sounds fun at least.

🦑💫This NASA/ESA Hubble image features the spiral galaxy Messier 77, also known as the Squid Galaxy.
It would take more than a century between the discovery of the galaxy and the realisation that the ‘spiral nebulae’ scattered across the sky were not part of our own galaxy!

Now that I think about it, Emma and Sarah went together usually, so she had to have too, right??
It's not like I can ask anyone I guess.

I'm starting to wonder now exactly how much the other assistants knew. I mean, Emma handled a lot of the busy work, and Gertrude seemed to trust her a lot. She had to have known something, right? Sarah started after I did, did she know anything either?

Life advice! If an old person invites you to go through an unsettling and confusing door, don't! That's the hallway dimension and it will eat you. Not a pleasant experience, 0/10.

I still have a sense of time, so that's nice. Time didn't really happen inside the Spiral.
