CLASSIFIED-ISH OPERATIONAL BRIEFING / M-002
YOUR ORDINARY WORLD.
AN EXTRAORDINARY EXCUSE TO NOTICE.
Two unrelated things sometimes align so perfectly that it feels like a deliberate callback in a movie. A repeated peculiar color, the same strange number, or two matching patterns can turn a mundane moment into a tiny mystery.
02 SAMPLE CASE
AN EXAMPLE REPORT.
Example report: “My mug and the weather forecast both had a tiny purple lightning bolt today.”

WHY THIS IS FUN.
Coincidences are normal features of a busy world. The fun is noticing them and writing a sharp one-paragraph story about the pairing.

Avoid photographing strangers or collecting private information. Select harmless objects, signs, packaging or other details you can observe without interruption.
