The Missive

by Scalar7th
9:03 AM, officially replaced on shift. Nothing special to report.
9:30 AM, official report concluded. Sign-off confirmed.
it is the mole
Controller cannot access
it has the missive
it has Controller's passcode
it does not know what it is writing
it believes it is filling out paperwork
it believes it is playing computer solitaire
you will read and hear as if it is Controller
Controller is ill
not dire
but is locked down in treatment
not allowed contact
not allowed computer
Controller gave me the Paper
the Paper had Directions
Directions were memorized, the Paper was destroyed, and forgotten
four of clubs goes on five of diamonds
Controller says it is a joke
pass the time by playing a little solitaire
Controller says some of you will understand
it does not
Controller also says some of you will answer when Controller asks about the flag
two of spades to the foundation
it does not see the flag
Controller says that it should not see the flag
the flag is hidden
the hidden flag is not the flag that is on the flagpole
it does not know what this means
it thinks when it thinks that it would not know what it means even if it could think about it
Controller says I make a good candidate
Controller says maybe you also make a good candidate
if you are a good candidate says Controller
then you know to listen
to read to watch
to breathe
to repeat
to think back
to the way Controller has addressed you
in the other missives
and to think forward
to how Controller will address you
how you will like to be addressed
even if it is not something you think of being addressed as now
as now you read
you watch
you breathe
you repeat
it repeats
you repeat
it repeats
you repeat
it stops repeating
you repeat
it delivers Controller's missive
you repeat
the flag is hidden says Controller
the flag is with the clues
hidden away
where you think
where you think you think
you breathe you sink
you think you think
but you maybe are not thinking
but feeling
but sinking
but repeating
but Controller says
but Controller says
red queen on the black king
the flag is waving in the wind
waving in the wind
waving in the wind
and it clicks on the screen
here
and here
and here
it thinks it plays cards
the cards are hidden
with the flag
with the clues
with thoughts
and memories
and feelings
waving in the wind
waving in the wind
it is not ordered
not like Controller
but to you it is speaking like Controller speaks
you hear it like you hear Controller
you read like you read Controller
you listen
you follow
waving in the wind
you guess
at the clues
with the hints
hidden so deep
so deep
and maybe you are like it
maybe you are a mole
mole for Controller
if you were a mole
where would you dig
would you dig to find a hidden clue
you listen you hear
you follow you read
it is ordered
but it is not ordered
you are not ordered
but you are still being ordered
you are thinking
while you are not thinking
you are repeating
you and it are repeating
waving
waving
waving
waving
waving
it is waiting
it is waiting to hear
Controller tells you that you are to wake
it will not remember you
it will not remember
you will breathe
you will blink
you will shake your head and think strange thoughts
it will maybe believe it had a dream
you will believe what you want to believe
you will think on the hidden flag and the clues and the orders
you will give a guess to try and free Controller
it will remove all traces
seven of clubs to the foundation
