He was tired. Ever since he had returned from his fortunate excursion, his brain had been humming at a pace he could not himself control, a rhythmic dashing from anxious sweat to encroaching delirium and back again to a more tepid undercurrent of concern, all of it because of the new flower. He would feel the same thoughts pounding into his skull with demonic regularity, each discrete pulse amplifying the reverberating remnants of the last, endlessly repeating the same intonation until the inner cacophony would become infinite in volume and eternal in his suffering of it; at this point it would become a manifesto, a creed, a looming, irresistible call from beyond, manifested through the expanding ripples he could envision within himself, and finally, he would break, and give in to that seductive and inimitable amplification by rising up and approaching the flower's pot- and halt, as the luring crescendo sounding in his head would be drowned by the epileptic staccato raging in his chest.
This had been going on for a while, and the lone candle's accepting glow only added to the bed's incomparable offer of comfort.

Nevermind. I just read the next one. Someone who lived through books would most certainly be verbose.

A little short.
Question: Is the character this verbose, or is this more your innner voice?

I should bestow upon you an appropriate rating more synchratic with the myriad of conceptualized thoughts that are my magnamimously profound opinion which would be most appropriately manifested in the rudimentary form of a -1...
But I'm in a good mood right now.

Adamdidit2u: you wish, man. if you think THIS is wordy, you should see some of the stuff i DON'T show Ubersty... oh man. i have a huge vocabulary, even in everyday conversation, and i'm not saying this as a point of pride, proof being the following: i'm not sure how/why i garnered it, but it was probably because i want to have at least a semblance of command over the English language, or more specifically because i don't like repeating the same adjectives over and over while writing(i can never tell when it ceases to be acceptable and begins to become obnoxious); and yet, despite that, i still have a horrible time in figuring out how to actually EXPRESS ideas, feelings, et al... some people i know are infinitely better at it than i, and rarely need to step outside the bounds of everyday verbage. they're masters of association, whereas i can only hope for being an associate to such mastery.
