Stephen slipped the messenger bag over his opposite shoulder. His laptop now safely stored, he pushed his way out of the building, swiping his ID card at the first set of doors to clock out and unlock the outer set. A scowl crossed his features at the bite in the air. His stone however had other ideas and at the first breath of wind, grew warm against his skin. Like a switch, it became neutral again as he pointedly ignored it with a thought. Now was not the time for experimenting. However, disconnecting from the stone of ice meant that he felt the cold just like everyone else.
He tucked his chin tighter into his scarf as he hurried down the sidewalk. His mind whirled with calculations that he had yet to test, trying desperately to remember each train of thought before he had to switch gears to remember if he had any food left in his kitchen, whether or not he’d cleaned recently, and the hydrochloric formula that he had left in his lab fridge. Trying to tuck his nose into his scarf, he didn’t realize that anyone was walking in front of him until he collided with them.
