Same Shape

I spent my lunch break today doing something a bit obsessive: I logged the camera outages side by side with local event timings—bus schedules, train arrivals, even the shift changes at the nearby warehouse. There’s no obvious trigger. No spikes in activity, no power surges on the grid, no explanation at all. Just the same hollow shape in the data, over and over again. I don’t know what to do with that information anymore. It’s a pattern that refuses to reveal its purpose. It’s like watching a heart monitor for a patient who isn’t there. You see the pulse, you see the rhythm, but there’s no body attached to it. I’m starting to hate these screens. They show me everything and tell me nothing.
