The end of the year is fast approaching, and I feel panicky. Winter makes me want to die. I do not mean that figuratively. I hate it. Summer engenders a lot of complaints from me, but I'll take sweating over freezing any day. Recently the air has started turning cooler, especially in the evenings, and I feel that dread creeping up on me. I get out of work at 7 or 8, and it's dark, and I feel it welling up in my chest. Now that we've changed the clocks, and it gets dark so early that I sometimes forget that I've seen the sun at all.
