Slowly, I stood up. Deciding I was going to investigate. I carefully walked to the door. Moonlight wrapped around my balcony. It was unlike anything I had seen.

I stand numbly in the freezing air. The cold wind taunts me, brushing my skin with the sting of winter. My cheeks must be red, irritated. The sky might be beautiful, moonlight cast through the bare branches above, if I was looking at anything. But I’m not, really. I’m not looking at anything.
