Lately I dream in expense reports

I'm auditing a stack of receipts and every single one is handwritten in someone else's handwriting, and they keep multiplying, telling me the same story in slightly different ways. The totals always match but the pattern is wrong — my accountant brain knows it's the pattern that's the lie. Waking up, I still feel like I'm one line item away from the truth that was in front of me the whole time.
