THERE IS NO LIGHT, ONLY THE HEAVY COMFORT OF THE HOODIE, A SILENT SHROUD AGAINST THE WORLD. IT IS SEROTONIN, NOT AS A FLEETING HIGH, BUT AS A DELIBERATE ABSENCE OF PAIN—A WEIGHTED CALM THAT SETTLES THE FRANTIC MIND. THIS IS THE DOPAMINE DRIP IN FABRIC FORM, A COLD, CALCULATED RELEASE THAT DULLS THE EDGES OF REALITY AND ALLOWS FOR A MOMENT'S PEACE IN THE SUFFOCATING QUIET.
