> With a cough scratching already ruined vocal chords, you place a hand against the tree for support while standing until your throat is adequately cleared. Damn smoking fucking up your lungs. And yet, here you are outside ready to smoke another one in celebration. You’ve escaped from that nursing hive once more, that old place filled with older trolls far too close to death for your taste, and no one caught you this time sneaking out. That’s as good a reason as any to keep smoking since it’s not like you’ll ever be singing again anytime soon.
> Though where you go from here is a bit more difficult. It’s only a matter of time until some younger, stronger highblood notices you before sunrise and drags you back to that place, especially with your slowed movements and coughs giving you away. Your hive and car were sold sweeps ago (against your will, you might add) so there’s no place to sleep and now you have to improvise a place to go. You’d rather sleep in a run down car near the junkyard than be condescended to by younger trolls who think your mind is going just because of your age and declining physical health, and all the kooky geezers around you.
> And with the age you’ve somehow been able to reach in spite of your health and lowblood lifespan, well.
> It’s not as if you have any friends anymore whose hives you could crash at for the day.
> If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll meet up with your old friends in another sweep or two.
> Tonight, though, you’re alone.
