Here is the way I saw it happening and what should be done. Allow space to make it work. The character has qualms obviously. Let him ride though and ignite his passion for curiosity. (this could have a stronger effect when used as reference in the later chapters)

When steps are taken. there is no relief. sun no matter. the lying back into recesses of yes (time). but is it worth cultivating? no one and no need to hear this. he asks. dry taste of cardboard or twigs. this is what age has done. need a drink, sir? and what’s more.

if I didn’t have the courage, I’d know better. is it really pain when inflicted by others. when plain to see the edge is close. so close at hand. saw her yesterday as if it were today. the dawn of something conjured up. by jokers who didn’t know better. come back when you’ve got something decent to say. something deserving. something desirable. and he did.

not plush pile. just rough coconut. and the weavers had already left. last bus home. back in the vacuum. it’s a sorry miss. I’ll murmur it in my. in my sleep or. remembering the days when we smoked fags. got a fag mate? all normal here. no need to take precautions. after which, we went our separate ways.

and then there was the time we had to decide upon style. as if there wasn’t a stone left unturned. so much preparation. so much so the best ideas were left behind. only the core and the laughs were left. and the boring songs about the Lord, the special ones. all forced the issue. on textured backgrounds and random paint spills. a perfect mixture. picture this.

or his outside world. peeled off in its prime. to be nipped in the bud. be it said. letting loose now as it comes. not as if friends even meant anything. mere deterrence or moments where he forgot himself. my how the ages make a difference though. peeping through to the past of this. or just backed up into a corner. repeating the same words until you don’t notice.

what has to be caught though. what has to be paid. the same self same. thoughts on the block. tied up in the glory of others stories. as if getting onto a path. and getting off at the next stop. here. about time here. and while not being out on the street, he’ll develop a new passion. on and on. until it’s gone. man about town using his extreme limitations to make history make a living. make haste.
