Peter Parker was cold. Of all the things he seemed to dwell on, this is the one thing he seems to return to the most.
Slumped in the corner of the room, the sharp and bumpy edges of the cement blocks dug into his back. Peter continued to stare listlessly at the grey walls as the fluorescent lights flickered at a random tempo.
The room was bare- plain walls, no windows, cement floors. There was a bed frame bolted to the floor, and a toilet and a sink. Other than a inch thick mattress, there was nothing else to be seen or to be taken note of.
Peter supposed this was not the worst situation to be held captive in (a distant memory from Before popped in his head- no, this wasn't a cave in some Middle Eastern country that was being held by terrorists). He was fed three times a day with what could barely pass as food, and was given time to rest. To be held in this cell was not the worst thing that could happen to him, but when he was forced out of his cell is what terrifies him the most.
But in the end, Peter could not shake off the general chill in the air and it did not only have to do with the temperature. Everything in the faculty was cold- there was no relief from the endless steel and cement blocks that comes in various shades of grey. There was no warmth or comfort to be found in this place, just sharp edges and impersonal touches that drowned out all signs of life.
It was all so cold.
It all seemed so inconsequential. Of all the things Peter could worry about, he chose to fret about the cold. To him, it didn't matter. Peter hated being cold- and if he just focuses on that fact, he can ignore the other terrifying truths that dwell inside his brain.
The fact that Peter felt numb. Or that he does not know how long he had been in this cell, at this faculty. Or the pain- the endless pain (Don'tThinkAboutThatDon'tThinkAboutThat!).
In the end, it was cold- all so cold.
Peter had been cold for so long, that he had stopped shivering.
He was too tired to try anymore.
