12 July 2012
It started when I was 17. It was a normal day. I had parents, they were loving and quite odd. My parents loved animals, I guess that's where I got my love from. I missed my parents for after that day, new years eve it was, I never saw them ever again. It was a cold new years eve for a thick blanket of snow covered the ground. I was wrapped up so much that I felt fatter than usual but I still felt the cold, it was nipping at my toes and I bet my nose was really red.
I was off to meet Jake, he was my best friend of 4 years and boyfriend of 4 months. I never did get to see him much that day. I climbed over the gate to get into the field and I could see him in the distance, he obviously couldn't see me, he never could when he waited there for me. Anyway, I climbed over the gate and started up the hill towards him. It was a slight upward decline but it didn't bother me, I was used to that walk. But as I got closer to Jake I realised he was standing on the other gate looking my way. He never did that, he always sat on it facing away from me, but this time was different. I could see his shaggy bright red hair and by the way his hands were drumming down on the gate at his knees I could tell he was worried. Then he saw me and his face lit up a little before he saw something behind me. I didn't bother looking because he always did that to scare me so I thought that was what he was doing.
"Stormie" he screamed. I had never heard him that scared, it was thick in his voice. I turned to look behind me and I saw orange before I was forced to the floor. The pain soared through me and before I knew it I was writhing in pain. The snow didn't seem a problem now. My face and every muscle in my body was burning and my clothes had been ripped to shreds beside me. I could see them and I had parts of my top curled into a ball in my palm. I started to fade or the world was fading. I couldn't tell anything. Time and place meant nothing.
I rolled over so I was face first in the snow and I couldn't be bothered to move when the snow melted against my body heat but I was laying face first in mud. Usually I would've minded that but it had melted the burning away and now I just couldn't move. I was so tired. I couldn't fall asleep here but I could feel myself floating away from consciousness, the awareness of my own existence fading. My thoughts ... Fade ... And finally I fell asleep.
