Interim
A plant with a temporary name outlasts three policy changes and one overflow shift.
A fictional narrative within Callizto Dark Symphony.
Len watered Interim in the dark hall.
The dashboard was off. The fountain was on. The moustache on the advert had gained a third line she refused to read until morning.
“You’re still here,” the cleaner said.
“She’s interim. If I go too fast she becomes a budget.”
The cleaner patted the pot, which was not procedure.
Len locked the drawer on the one yes.
They walked out together. Exchange at night was a riverbed.
Interim stayed, temporary and surviving, which was the city’s favorite trick.
