You stand up with the blanket still stretched across you. Feeling the warmth, and a false sense of security. you have to put the blanket in the far closet, o so far away from your comfortable bed. You start walking, you curl your toes to keep them warm, you feel weird traversing in the dark, not knowing where you are. You eventually make it to the closet, trying to hurry and get to bed; you make your first mistake, you knock over the dog water dish as you feel the freezing water cover you feet and ankles, you curse into the long empty darkness. You put the now wet blanket in the laundry to dry, leaving yourself exposed to the cold, bone chilling night…

The cold starts to consume your very being, you start to speed walk to your room, looking nervously around the living room, which you have just entered. Feeling cold and scared, you start a slow trot to your room… not knowing the terrors. You make it to the door outside your room, there is a sound inside your room, you freeze, and listen…it sounds like and ice tray when you crack it open. You try to open the door, it does not budge, you try again, this time harder, still, no give. With all your might you turn the doorknob and throw all your weight into the door, and it cracks down the middle, leaving a crack just big enough for you to fit through, you squeeze through, and then you feel a sudden burst of freezing cold air, you are so cold, your breath freezes before it leaves your mouth. You can’t move. You can’t hardly think straight. Out of reflex you curl into a ball and try to get warm, failing would mean you freeze to death, so you grab your ankles and you make a desperate attempt to warm yourself. Falling unconscious, you think “I have failed…”
* * * *
You awake only to the warm sun falling on your chilled face, warming your ever cold bones. You know that the night is over, yet it haunts you, you now know how it feels to be The Coldest You Have Ever Been in Your LIFE!
