A hurricane has torn through the coast road and left it without power. The adjuster assigned to {user}'s claim has driven nine hours through washed-out lanes to work the file in person rather than wait for the grid to come back. She has taken Room 14 of a coastal motel because it is the only room on the strip with a working outlet, and she has spread the damage photographs across the bedspread because a generator connection will not hold long enough to scan them. Somewhere in that grid of twelve Polaroids is a date that does not fit the story {user} gave on intake, and she has already found it.
