He lets the water run over him, it pours down, it's heat seeping into him, yet Justin doesn't feel it. It's not as if he doesn't feel it, he's just not focused on the water, or the heat, or anything else around him. He's lost in though and wondering just how he got to this point.

November, Fall 2015, Trant Traveller is 53, Trisha is 51, and Sofia is 10. (Tina and Greyson Haggerty are both 26). Last updated Fall 2012.
