            That must be a simultaneously fascinating and terrible job. Much like a normal SCP operative but worse and more boring.

            “So you contacted us on Nov 18th about a problem.”

            “Did I? What was it?”

            “We don’t know.”

            “So what do we do now.”

            “First, I’m interviewing you about the thing.”

            “Thing?”

            “Yes, the thing.”

            “What thing?”

            “The thing you can’t seem to remember.”

            “Wait, hang on, I’m so confused, what are you here about?”

            “So… you contacted us on Nov 18th about a problem…”

            “Did I? What was it?”

      Do people still use these? I haven’t seen one since my great aunt’s house in the early '90s, and I’m certain it was never used for bread. Still remember the smell of that kitchen. Picked up the early, mineral tones of her weird, dank basement. God damn, I played a lot of Megaman 2 in that basement.

      My gram used to put the bread and crisps in the oven when the oven wasn’t being used :)
