DANGEROUS
TOXIC
THAT IS THE HURT I AM FEELING
REQUIRES HEAT
REQUIRES TIME
REQUIRES CHANGE
OR DEATH
BUT I MUST SWALLOW THIS RAW

SHOULD I DIE?
DO I WANT TO DIE?
I WANT TO FIND HEAT!
COLD
DRIPPING COLD
BLOODY COLD
ICY COLD

LICK ME
BITE ME
KILL ME
BUT DON'T LET ME FREEZE
I NEED HEAT!
NO HEAT
NO HEAT
NO HEAT
NO LONGER FIT FOR CONSUMPTION
FREEZER BURNT

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
