The Gift Shop

Everything here is a limited edition of one. Nothing here can be carried out. The prices are aware of this and are climbing anyway.

Souvenir of the Hallway
A hallway, folded down to postcard size. Unfolds back to full size if left alone.
Bottled Hum
The sound the lights make. Do not open indoors.
Spare Exit Sign
Points the correct direction exactly once, at a time of its choosing.
A Chair, Still Warm
From the waiting room. We don't know how it got here either.
The Elevator's Thirteenth Button
Doesn't go anywhere marked. Presses itself back in if you don't watch it.
A Photocopy of a Photocopy
Seventh generation. Still legible. We stopped asking why.
Two Minutes of Crackle, Bottled
No music underneath it. There never was.

Curator's note — the register has no drawer. It has never needed one.
