Its wail was&nbsp;just like hers, never giving me a moments peace, no respite for the near-wicked, she would always say.<\/p>\n<p>I started, shifting my body upright and away from the cold, stiff concrete. Another hour done and gone, I thought, as I wrapped my old coat&nbsp;closer around me and again stumbled out from between the wooden crates, pulling and lighting the Camel in a too-smooth move that said in a second just how far gone along I was.<\/p>\n<p>It was a dark and stormy night. Cold down at the docks, and cold everywhere else. Coldest in my bones. Moist steam from the grates and Camel&#8217;s welcome&nbsp;smoke mixed with stale breath and the damp fog, managing to dull the&nbsp;stench of the harbour&#8217;s dead rotting fish. At least there was that.<\/p>\n<p>Three more hours, and three more turns around this dark and dank hole, and the rising sun would drive me away from this place. Drive me away for good. I&#8217;d been here long, and when you stay in a place too long, it seeps into your bones and changes you. Changes you into things you&#8217;d rather not think about.
