37.4 degrees

On the world map, that’s a few miles off the coast of El-Jazair.
I’ve never been there, but my temperature has. At least, on it’s way down.
Which means I’ve been all the way up to the town of Benicarlo near Valencia (40++ degrees), down to somewhere off the coast of Gandia (39++) and afloat on the Mediterranean sea (38++).

Illness, nothing is so self-absorbing as that. (Except maybe being in love.) It’s our body screaming for attention. The heat of its self watching itself burning you up from inside. Look away and die.
