My heart felt like ice, my heart was ice, as it was beating slowly, harshly. My mind felt like a winter storm, and my blood painfully became ice as it ran though my veins. My breath was cold winter air, with my thoughts ice solid with it." Hold on...., " I breathed to myself. I had to convince myself that I still had enough inner strength to......... still...... exist. " Hold on ..., you are strong enough. Don't give up!" Easier said than done when your entire body feels like an ice storm.I thought to myself, as i should with my last few minutes of life ahead of me, all of the memories, all of the highlights of my devastatingly short life. When I did, only one name came to my frozen mind.....I loved that name, and the memories that i had of that name. But now those were becoming frozen as well. Painfully, impossibly i tried to recall what had gotten me here , knowing it had something to do with that name......Willingly, i let go of my useless efforts, my useless tries. Knowing it would be for nothing." Hold on...," a distant voice called to an instant I knew it was the voice of the name.
