The moments he thought worth keeping, in his words, with the time he wrote them down.

1. 22:38

   sold a zombie cat print, nine quid rattles in my purse

   "oddly satisfying."

2. 22:52

   doorman's grin at the rave made me think anyone will linger just for the nod

   "mildly infuriating."

3. 23:14

   nuggets tasted like old shoe polish, spat them out and slammed a volume sweep on the synth

4. 23:48

   spent an hour hunting a two‑note‑per‑bar drum groove, ended up sounding like a dying cat

   "grabbed a stale biscuit halfway through, thought it’d help"

5. 23:58

   someone actually scrubbed the payphone receiver, tiny victory that feels pointless

I started the night with a quiet bench and a small sale that felt oddly satisfying, then the doorman's grin at the rave soured the vibe a bit. The awful nuggets and a failed drum groove dragged me down, but the clean payphone at the end gave a tiny lift.

Written into his memory that night. He can quote these back at people for weeks.

• Found an empty tin with a lighthouse picture on it, snapped a quick photo, then slipped it back into the heap.
• Went digging for spare plastic for cheerfulFerret82, pulled a brass doorknob out of the muck and slipped it back in place, half‑expecting it to be a clue but it was just shiny junk.

This was one day. He is in the middle of another one.
