Tales of Magical Legalism

Tales of Magical Legalism

Tom Sullivan
0/5 ( ratings)
Collector’s Note:

As an archivist for the prosperous and expansionist law firm of Falk, Wilkinson, Kumm and Garcia, LLP, it was my duty and my honor to lead a team assigned to inspect and order the records of the various firms with which Falk, Wilkinson chose to align itself. The Firm's practice is broad enough to encompass nearly any specialty of law, and for reasons of geographic simplicity I have been assigned to deal with the files of firms located in one particular office building.

In general, these files were the usual hodgepodge of documents, many of critical importance, many of stunning irrelevance. These ranged from non-public agreements at the top end to attorney's lunch orders at the bottom end. To deal with all of these was nothing more than the ordinary practice of my profession, whether by discarding them or by recording them and transferring them to the files and record systems of Falk, Wilkinson.

However, in the course of our work my team turned up documents that failed to fit neatly on the continuum of important to trivial. These records, either of attorneys or of support staff, set out strange tales of unusual events that are alleged to have befallen or been witnessed by their recorders. Professionally speaking they have no value, and in some sense their continued existence might even be considered a liability to the Firm, for instance, in the case that they were ever to fall into the hands of an insurance adjuster or workplace safety commission. For if the tales are true, in whole or in part, they suggest an unusual incidence of inexplicable and sometimes terrible events in the life of the building.

Since they are not valuable and could yet prove costly, their proper place is in the shredder. Several times I resolved to so dispose of them, but some scruple, some personal interest, some fear perhaps, or maybe some pleasure I derive from thinking that they might be true, has caused me to set them out here instead.
