I came in early to clean up the inbox. The inbox laughed.
Every message replied to every other message. Subject lines like “RE: RE: RE: unsubscribe me you magnificent maniacs.” The MailEnchant logo in the corner pulsed faintly, like a living heart.
In my panic, I clicked “Sync All Devices.”
The office printer started printing the newsletter. The scanner started beeping Morse code. Even the coffee machine hissed “Welcome to the Mischief List.”
Nick arrived mid-flood. I tried to explain. He stared at the rising tide of paper and said quietly, “Julian… this is strangely on brand.”
I think that saved me. For now.
