The Room in Context (2)

Indulge the Room, and its curiosities. For it may help free you from your own unrealised pre-conceptions and unconscious goals and fears. Of course, equally, it may not.
So upon what did the Room next seize, or chance, to lead its growth? Would it be one of these monstrous human themes - creation, nature/nurture, or even love? Could it even derive any information from such a theme, or would it simply abstract something utterly unintended or unhelpful therefrom?

The answer, dear (or indeed cheap) reader, is NO.

The next stimulus, although related, in the way that all things are intertwined, to these grandiose themes, was to be far more base, far more primitive even than these great ideas and concepts that still shape and tear society and civilisation apart.

The Room was suddenly conscious of a discarded rubber prophylactic which contained a liquid. Of course, I hardly need tell you now, it did not conceive of this in these terms. A strange container, perhaps, would be a better way of expressing its reaction. And a strange content as well, indeed.

Had the musings of dead and living poets (ah, Morrissey) given it enough context to draw meaning from this dead tube of rubber that once removed a potential life? (Don't worry, the Room is not interested in anti-abortion diatribes) Could it conceive (aha) of the implications of the tube? Again, the answer was NO.

But it did start to force the Room to accept the possibility of another, alien presence within it. Of another existence. For the tube was clearly not a thing of the Room. And therefore (our minds can seize the logic of this far faster than the Room could) someone must have made or brought it.

The possibility of the other, as well as that of making/creation, had now been seeded deep within the emerging processes of the Room. Soon, one hopes, it would be able to ask and be confuted by the great themes...
