The old house felt colder than usual. Michael pulled the blanket tighter around him. He hated the cold, the way it seeped into his bones and amplified the pain. He hadn't slept for a day.

He wasn’t expecting any visitors. He was used to being alone, but today was worse. He felt like his body was shutting down.

A knock. Irritated, he shouted, "Come in!" It was the delivery man. He handed over a package, then saw the state Michael was in. He started to explain that he shared the same affliction. Michael didn't say anything, but he let the man in.
