The cold burns

Short little post


There was no cold. There was no wind. Only black. Only silence. There was no such thing as temperature right now. Body? What body? There was only a mind. A broken mind that could not even think. There was nothing to think about because nothing was going on. Sleep, just good old fashioned sleep. If only it was that innocent. It had been forced upon the small body so harsh. No choices. Waking up wasn't an option. It would happen if it wanted to. Tala was at a complete loss. She had no control, no thoughts. Was she any better than dead? The cold would kill her even if the beam had not. If the cold did not kill her the weather and the crumbling building would. If she could come to terms with anything she would have accepted that her cabin was going to be her tomb. She had made herself a home here. The very home she had claimed as her own was going to become her tombstone as well. How eerie. How sad.


Scratching, dragging. The noise was the definition of faint. Was it even real? The sounds were muffled like they had been forced through 10 layers of snow and ice. No words, just echoes and inaudible muffles. Had there been words? She didn't know. Her body was limp but she heard whistling. Was it wind? Was it her eardrums giving out? What was it? She didn't know. Why didn't she know?


A familiar scent did hit her nose. An odor of fur. It was thick like winter but so close like family. The name she could not find. However the scent was so dear to her like she had known it even before birth. Who was it.... she wished she could know. Just like that it was all gone. The whistling was faded into silence and all scent died. It returned to black. If she could have even thought about crying. She would have shed a new form of tears.
