In Fact, It's Cold As Hell

Adventures and anecdotes - #1

(Backstory here.)

I spent a lot of time abroad. After all these seasons I recently returned to the home country. Low on funds, struggling to assimilate, no home nor the perspective and possibility of obtaining one anytime soon.

Five weeks passed. Five weeks during which the fragile new character I built rapidly disintegrated. My old environment held me in a chokehold. What I perceived as a stable foundation appeared to be a firmly taped mask. It had stayed in place for well over eight and a half years, and now it was coming loose.
