Granada
“His day had been heavy and cumbersome, and he was shut indoors all day long. He took breaths of the fresh, cold air and followed the lightly falling snowflakes as he settled himself along the bank of the Darro River beneath the hanging branches of the trees.

It wasn't just this day that wore him down, but day after day after day when a crisis or complication of the day before pales in comparison to the next. But these days accustom...ed him to latch on to a scrap of hope or a flicker of light, even one as small as the eye of a needle.
