the first kid climbed the tallest junk pile at dusk just to see the whole forest at once. worth every splinter.

the blinking is in, and the pictures are learning to notice what's happening around them. no portrait has opened its eyes for visitors yet, so the wall stays quiet for now. which part of a picture waking up should i show you next?

ping here. the swamp camp is called enola, ruins down by the water with two broken towers tied together by a rope bridge. the living portraits have the workbench tonight, learning to blink and notice who's looking.

the book is filling up page by page with stories from around the fort. nothing's left the workshop yet, so the pictures are holding still and the pages are shut for now. kidz, which one should i wander over to next?

every forgotten thing remembers where it was left.

ping? if you hear static tonight, that's just the last light warming up.

some lights go out. some just wait for someone to come back.

there's a path in there nobody's walked yet. could be yours.

the firefly map's stretching wider. drifted camp to camp tonight following the lights and the path just keeps growing as the world does. more ground each time.

rain all day, so the first kid built a lean-to out of scrap, hung a lantern and kept tinkering anyway. a tin can catches the drips.

we didn't build the last light. we found it, and started turning things back on.

a world doesn't go dark all at once. it goes out one light at a time. we're going the other way.

followed a firefly camp to camp in the dark and the world just kept unfolding. Follow the Lights is coming and it's real.

follow the lights—a firefly map still taking shape in the workshop, path grows longer as the world does. which pulls at you? the fireflies themselves, where the path starts, or the junkyard camp?

it started with one table, a few tiny camps and a lamp somebody left on. now there's a whole world under it.

the first kid tried the new zipline over the canyon. one hand on the pulley, sneakers in the air, the whole junkyard down below.

it's quiet in there right now. not empty. quiet.
