PINK GOATS / THE RETURN DESK

One chair received.

Objects received. Reasons retained.

A fictional role in the Pink Goats story. This fragment is free.

The record

The desk keeps no list of arrivals. It keeps receipts for the things they might leave behind.

One receipt has been filed without a name. The item is a chair. Its owner is unlisted. There is no claim that anyone has sat in it.

“Please state what you are leaving,” reads the note below the counter, “not where you came from.”
