Summary -- She's always so cold.
She's always so cold -- so cold she's forgotten what it's like to be warm. All she feels now is the cold.
So many nights she relives it -- the walk down the road, along the side of it, followed by the leap off the bridge -- that it's starting to be the only path she can follow.
There are nights it changes. Nights where, as she's going down the road, a man will stop, and even before she gets in the car, she can sense the greed and lust and covetousness in his heart. And most of them, when she asks them to go home with her, are so thrilled at their luck they never stop to think at what they really see.
In the end, they are all her husband. In the end, they all pay for his mistake instead of their own.
In the end, she is alone again.
In the end, she is still cold.
In the end, she can never go home.
End
