Description Fallen through the storm.

Swallowed the eternal iceberg.

Frozen in a decaying shell.


I had fallen through the storm.  Not knowing at the time what lies on the other side and fearing for my life, I made the safe choice.

It offered me the eternal iceberg. It opened its hand and there it lay in its palm – it was so pure and tempting. Once I swallow it, it said, I'll be impervious and my safety will be guaranteed. There was a catch, however: Once I swallow the eternal iceberg, there's no going back.

The safe choice was the wrong choice. Impervious I remained. Impervious to touch, impervious to growth.

And now I am, frozen in a decaying shell. Waiting for it to die out and allow me to be shattered and dispersed.

I hear rumors of a flame. A special flame that can melt the eternal iceberg. But how can I go on a quest to find it, being frozen? And if I do find it, how will I live on? I was just a child when I went into this coma. Won't waking up so many wasted years later be just too painful to take?

this pretty much sums up winter, to me, yeah...

that's why I stay inside with the heat on as much as I can.
