Plagued.

The week before brought M to an unknown place by himself.

Perth.

For the celebration of iiNet's Top Geek 2.0 Final 5, and a representative of the Top50 finalist. Meeting Australian's finest geeks, in an all out battle for the crown. And he didn't regret coming over.

But coming home, he was plagued by sickness, stopping his progress in doing strenuous actions and unable to socialise with anyone. It did not matter as Diablo III, the long awaited game from Blizzard, entered his arms few days later, to plague his life in legendary drops and endless left-clicking of the computer mouse.

And a week from then, still sick even.

Warmth.

His sight blurred, his mind blanketed out as a tiring day falls itself into M.
He nodded slowly, as he entered a frail state of a slow but diminishing dream.

The cold air breeze swept in from the near empty train, shivering thereafter.
But her warmth.
Her soothing and smooth hands gently pushed against his hands.
Grasping it softly and never letting go.
He smiled, ever so happy as the train slowly but eventually reaching the end of its destination.
