Bakery before dawn
Flour dust, a lit oven, the town still asleep
A village bakery in the blue hour, where the ovens are already roaring and the big table is deep in flour, proofing baskets and a cloth over resting dough. The baker works with his back to you, sliding loaves into the brick mouth of the fire, while the dog sleeps by the cooling racks. Everything smells of yeast and woodsmoke, and no one has opened the door yet.

In this room
- A journal: what you write stays in the room, and only the people you choose can read it.
- A sound of its own — rain, a fire, a radio station to leave playing.
- A clock that keeps your time.
- A window with the real weather where you are.
- A note for the day, where you will see it.
- Frames for your own photographs.
- An assistant that knows the room and what you keep in it.
- A shelf for your files.
- A lamp that turns the room from light to dark.
- A flame flickers.
- The lamps give a soft glow.
- After dark the same room has a night of its own, with its own light.
