Places and Me

I feel walls breathe. I feel like doors smile. I love windows with curtains because they are naughty and play with me and the wind all the time.

Places are actually like people; they live, listen, love, feel just like us. I enjoy communicating with places. Have you tried this?

Context: Hasan was only asked by the parent about what he would like this article to be called. With just that question at the beginning of the exercise, the whole piece is typed by Hasan letter by letter, without any external prompts or suggestions. He wrote this in one sitting.
