The membership statement arrived as a PDF with twenty-four rows on it.
Eleven of those rows are charges for months I was not here, and they are the same amount as all the others.

A bank cannot tell the difference between a month you used and a month you did not,
and for eleven months I let a database keep the only record of me in this building.

I have been treating that as a fact about my character.
It is, at most, a fact about a standing order.
