004 -- [week seventeen | day one] - audio
[There was a time in his youth when he could endure countless nights of the chills, huddled in a corner, knees drawn for even the subtlest of bolstered warmth, and unresenting of the nearby mass bundled in covers. It was secondary, the numbness kissing his toes and compelling them to draw, bending to fold under; secondary to feel of pages between his fingers and the complex plot unfolding between the margins. However, that time has since been heavily stifled by excessive pampering that he may have grew to take for granted.
Initially, the luxuries were welcomed in small doses, uncertainty coloring his receptiveness.
