Preludes
These appear before the first day.
What is gathered early may matter later.

I speak without a mouth,
guide without a hand,
and when you follow me too closely,
you become lost.I exist only when you notice what’s missing.
The moment you name me, I change.I can be held without fingers
and broken without sound.
I am born in silence
and die in certainty.I am the thing you chase
that becomes smaller the closer you get.
I reward the patient
and punish the hurried.I have no weight,
yet I can crush a decision.
I appear at the end of questions,
and vanish at the start of answers.I am made of lines that do not exist
and numbers that do not sleep.
I tell you where you are
without ever telling you who you are.The more you remove,
the more I reveal.
I am never found by searching—
only by seeing.I am a door that opens inward.
The key is never metal,
and the lock is never seen.I am the question behind the question.
I am what remains
when the riddle is solved.I arrive before the answer
and linger after it.
I live between certainty and fear.I can make a room feel watched
without adding anyone to it.
I am strongest when nothing moves.I am built from fragments,
proven by patience,
and destroyed by sharing.I am not the lock.
I am not the key.
Yet without me, both are useless.I can be true and still mislead you.
I can be false and still guide you.I am the line you cross
without moving your feet.

Rewards

I do not arrive only as cash,
though cash waits for those who reach the end first.I move quietly through cards, credit, and hidden links,
opening access where none was promised.What follows may become a trip,
then a trip again —
sometimes by cars,
sometimes by plane,
always by decision.Some pass forward into Cycle two
without beginning again.I leave time behind in watches,
mark moments on a computer,
wait inside a phone,
and appear again on a tablet.I take form as a compass and an engraved map,
as a framed print or framed photograph,
written into a leather journal with a fountain pen,
or sealed behind a metal key in a lockbox.I sit quietly as a watch, a wristwatch, or a desk clock,
heard through headphones, earbuds, or a speaker,
guided by a keyboard, mouse, and laptop stand.I travel in a backpack, a travel bag, or a suitcase,
held by a passport holder,
recorded in a notebook,
seen through a camera on a tripod.I reveal myself as a flashlight, a penlight,
a pocket knife, or a multitool,
resting beside a mug or a thermos,
wrapped in a jacket, gloves, or a scarf.I remember the world as a model globe or wall map,
remain on a desk as a desk organizer,
endure as a book or hardcover book,
weigh history as a collectible coin,
or stand silent as a plaque.I am not one reward.
I am what remains
when the path decides to give something back.
