The Scanner

You are the Digitization Tech. The overhead scanner sees under-text the naked eye cannot: writing beneath the writing, on pages that should be blank. File the scan and it is in the system forever, or flag it and pull the page. At dawn, count what you kept. 30 minutes. One deck of playing cards, one journal. Jokers in.
