Abstract

[Introduction]

Call me David.

No one does, of course. In the security logs and performance dashboards I am a surname attached to timestamps, an engineer of record on a long chain of tickets. But in the quiet hours, when the office is a husk of humming machines and LED indicators, I use the name on myself the way you press a finger into a bruise. To see if it still hurts.
