Beautiful, ornate, almost religious calligraphy appeared, but with a tiny crack running through the 'O'—a flaw of impermanence. He typed MONEY . The letters became cold, metallic, and sharp enough to cut. He typed FAME . The letters ballooned grotesquely, then shriveled into dust.

He typed TRUTH .
He sent them the proof anyway. He couldn't help himself. The font was honest, and honesty had become his new religion.
