The calendar on the wall read only a string of numbers and bureaucratic notations; none of them mattered except the red-stamped batch code: v1271. The city beyond the checkpoint had learned to move in measured breaths — permit by permit, signature by signature — and the people who queued in its shadow bore the sharp, tired geometry of delayed hope.
