Three units are assigned to every person. One sets the conditions. One measures. One writes the date.
They are not gods and they are not cruel. They are an allocation service, they have been running for two hundred years, and there is a queue on the fourth floor.

Nothing is added up. Nobody is going to read it.
And on the fourth of August 2016 a two-year-old fell asleep against her father in a car park in Filey, and it is the highest reading of his life, and he does not remember
