You asked for it, man...I hope I remember it right.
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?
