Reader | Sor

She wants to write a margin note. Would you remember the Tuesday? But she doesn’t. The file will be reviewed. Her notes become evidence. So she writes only: See psychological impact of PTSD on temporal recall. She knows no one will look it up.

If you meant a different SOR, let me know and I’ll adjust it. The manila folder is thin. Deceptively thin. Inside: a single sheet of paper, stapled once at the top-left corner. STATEMENT OF REASONS – CASE #407-91.

"Therefore, the application is denied."

And tonight, as she locks her office door, she tells herself she did her job. But on the train home, she counts the stops until her own. And for the first time, she doesn’t know if she’s going home—or fleeing. If you meant a different "SOR" (e.g., School of Rock, Sons of the Revolution, a specific game or book), just reply with a bit more context and I’ll rewrite the piece to fit exactly.

"The applicant’s testimony was internally inconsistent regarding the date of the first threat."
