The 4th circle of Hell seems cozy.

And then there are people for whom the impacts can be crippling—(PUN)ishment intended.

Let me paint you a picture. I’m a heat-seeker, and although the literature says otherwise, heat is my friend. I’m more flexible, less weighed down, and better able to function when I’m warm.

Naturally, I’ve landed in a part of Australia where the temperature drops below zero overnight and barely improves from there.

Everyone has heating, but most people don’t believe they can afford to turn it on. Meanwhile, I’ve arrived with cash—and a lot of it—to throw at anyone willing to turn their bloody heater on or, for the love of God, close their fucking doors and windows.

After a night spent mostly shivering, I can’t even think straight. On the upside, I’ve read that shivering can count as a form of cardio, so at least it may lead to weight loss.
