“Did he really say ‘his bus told him’?” Said Ableman as he grabbed his punch card and clocked in to JCMI.

“Ableman. I am so glad to see you. Please start on the third floor in electronics. People just can’t have enough electronics these days,” said an overly cheery and unusually forward Stewart.

“Sure thing.”

As Stewart went up the escalator he heard a song. It was the same song he heard on the bus and it was the same song he heard as he clocked in. The song seemed to be looping. He had never heard the song before today but he seemed to know it intimately. He wondered if he would ever get sick of the song, but deep down he was pretty sure he wouldn’t.

He made it to the third floor in time to see 20 people all staring at the test speakers mounted into the wall. He heard the same voice that he heard when TIMSHEL first spoke.

“And remember, speaking is better left up to me.”

“What was that?” asked Ableman to no one in particular.

“That was TIMSHEL,” said a glassy eyed neighbor.

“What? What is going on here?”
