He used to never mind the warmth and humidity of the steam as it wafted past his nose‚ but today it choked him‚ as if he was trying to breath fresh air but only the dreaded heat of many engines filled his lungs.

As I lay in my bed thinking about today’s chores‚ they run through my head like a batter just hitting a home run. I finally motivate myself enough to walk down a flight of stairs that feels like a lifetime to go down. A silence breaks through the dusty air that I feel is
