    About halfway through the story the author descirbes a "funny mark on the wall...that runs around the room."  She tells that it encircles the room except for the portion of the wall that the bed is up against.  She wonders who or what did it, then later in the story she ties herself to the bed and crawls around and around the room at the same height of the smudge on the wall.
