i wake up, in an endless scape of ice.
it is a dark sky. there are not even stars, though sometimes I think i see blotches.
the ice is fairly flat, with some incongruities, cracks, etc.  it is slightly bluish, in most places.
the air is not exactly freezing, but you are cold enough while sitting on ice.   i've already walked far and wide trying to discover this place.  (i don't actually care, but i feel obligated to as, as a living animal.)  my feet are tired and my muscles ache. there is only ice, and more ice.  i am sitting down.
there is no weather.  there is no moon.  i'm not even sure about an Earth.  there is no Milky Way.  there are no others, there are no bugs on the ground.
after a certain time, i decide that night does not pass; day does not come on this planet.
i lie down, and there is nothing to eat.
i am freezing to death, but only very slowly..
i'd never felt so forsaken in my life.  i never got to feel so forsaken - in the ways i always had been, despite all the humans amongst me.
my lips are turning blue.  i think i feel icicles.  my breath is crispy, in that i think that maybe when i breathe in & out, water freezes and melts in my mouth & lungs..

I'd never been happier.
Thank you, god..
