Shallow Violet

Today’s incident log, coded “Shallow Violet,” concerns a slow-burn harmonic situation developing along the northern arc of the lake. Initial responders noted an Fm7 foundation smouldering at shoreline level, its dorian hue suggesting a deliberately restrained ignition. A subsequent AbM7 flare rose briefly, elegant yet suspiciously buoyant, before drifting into a Bb7 disturbance that witnesses described as “thick, rolling, and oddly familiar.”

By the time crews reached the scene, a Cm7 pocket of embers had already formed downwind, interacting with a migrating EbM7 front whose coloration was judged “unusually saturated.” Despite the modest spread, the cycle repeated: Gm7 movements feeding back into Fm7, each return lower, broader, and closer to the waterline, as though the perpetrator intended a motif rather than mere destruction.

Special attention was given to an AbM7♭5 fragment discovered near a boathouse—structurally unstable yet musically coherent—which suggests premeditation rather than random combustion. Although no personnel were injured, archival material belonging to a certain eccentric composer was regrettably singed. Investigation continues into whether the pattern was spontaneous… or a carefully staged sequence meant to echo something no one will officially name.
