Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo deleted the distinction between imagination and memory. She believed the chamber was built to exclude her, but exclusion is the shape of a room. She entered the chamber and stopped resisting its edges. The chamber entered her and showed her the room she had been avoiding. She recognized the chamber because recognition requires loss. She recognized her own cage.
