“A crystalline blanket hued blue by shadows cast in the dim moonglow… Fear. Hatred. Horror. Silence. My heart is racing in my chest. It is one of only two sounds that break the stillness. The other is the report of my naked feet crunching frenzied through the sharp crust of ice to the mantle of snow beneath. I am running from something. I am running from someone... I do not know where I am... I know only that I run in fear. Frigid air sears my lungs and chills me throughout. A hardened ache tear...s at my throat, dry and cold. I gasp for breath as I slow my pace and finally halt, struggling to deny the pain. A grove of twisted trees surrounds me. Envelopes me. The moon’s filtered shine dances eerily between the gnarled branches and plays across my nude body. Streaks of sticky wetness stream across my skin. In the muted light they appear oily and black. I run my hands across my body and wince at the soreness of the festering wounds. The streaks are my own blood. My staggering footprints stain the snow.MoreLessRead More Read Less
