Dissonance The taste of heat crawling in his window again, streaming all over his body made him gag, and he closed the shade and prayed that the sun would just go away. The sweat on his body was his last sweat, pulled from as deep in him as he could go, water he couldn't afford to lose. He walked to the fridge and fell over the army field pack he was using to carry his clothes around. "Motherfu..screw it." He tried to snarl, but failed, and everything went white for a few seconds. He felt heat build up inside him, and as he pulled himself up he went to the faucet instead of the barren fridge. Why get blinded by the white glare off of the bare walls? The tap water tasted rusty, but he drank it anyway, knowing nothing and being less. Actually, that's kind of a prose poem, huh? NEVER MIND Badger01
