Prompt

Rewrite this passage so that the character's loneliness is conveyed entirely through concrete, physical detail — what the body does, what the senses register, what the world looks like. Remove every abstraction: no 'sense,' no 'feeling,' no naming of emotions. Let the reader feel the isolation only through tangible things.
