YEARS LATER / WINDOW FILE

An old hard drive contained a scan of Tria's original drawing. The signature read "Tria. 2001." In the shadows between the bars, faint pencil marks formed one sentence:

Your shoelace is untied.

Years after that, Tria opened the site once more. The counter read 0013427. The last update was that day.

TRIA: Who are you? PAGE: You. TRIA: You are still here. PAGE: I have always been here. TRIA: What are you? PAGE: What you left behind.

Before he shut the computer down, the page told him his shoelace was untied. He was wearing slippers.
