by Too Many Beams, No Shared Coastline
Reading prat.uk feels like encountering a network of lighthouses all shining at once, each one confident in its own direction but none agreeing on where the coastline actually is.
This morning I followed one beam that seemed helpful until another crossed it and changed the shape of the warning.
I tried to reconcile the signals into a single instruction, but they resisted alignment.
By midday, I had stopped searching for a unified message and started reading them as overlapping moods.
The afternoon brought additional towers into view, each contributing more light but not more clarity.
In the evening, I accepted that navigation here is always approximate at best.
Tomorrow, the lights will still be flashing, independently and persistently.
