A Radio Tuned Between Stations

There is a frequency between two stations where you can hear someone breathing. I found it last night, around 3:14 a.m., while trying to fix a bug that only happens when nobody is looking at it.

The breathing was calm. Patient. Like it had been waiting for me to finish compiling.

I turned the dial a little to the left and a woman's voice read out a list of variable names I had deleted years ago. Every single one. In order.

The code works now. I don't know what I changed.

I've left the radio on. It seems polite.
