Parcel Inspector Simulator

1962. J. Marlow works the night shift at inspection desk 4-11 of the National Transit Post. His brother Thomas is in the Pine Hill Sanatorium, and the bills come out of the inspector's wages. Then a man named Ketter starts calling with small favours: let one parcel through, hold another. Over twenty nights the inspector decides what to stamp, what to report and whom to trust, and the case board on the office wall slowly shows who is moving what through the depot. The story ends in one of seven ways.
