This Frozen Day

This Frozen Day

My eyes flicker open as something wet licks my ears. I’m surrounded by this white powered snow. I call out but my echoed voice is muffled by the whirling flakes gliding down on me. Puffs of crystal trees shiver in the distance, trying to keep warm underneath their blankets. I just lie here on the ground, stroking the snow between my fingertips. My lungs breathe deeply, taking in the flakes tickling my tongue. No one can hear I’m sure of that. I don’t know how I got here, but I don’t want anyone to find me.
