Joe had been trying to ignore it for awhile now, but it was getting worse every day. The heat inside him climbed as it did across the City outside. It hounded him as he spent more and more time alone.
He tried to read Adam's letter, telling himself it would help, but the words ran together, senseless. Dinner he ignored, he wasn't hungry. He tried to work on a model, but his hands shook.
He paced his living room for awhile, then decided he needed to get out, he didn't trust himself.
There was something of a breeze on the rooftop. It helped.
He paced around the garden, a nearby plant withering and curling in on itself as he passed.
