ICE PRINCESS

Today wasn't a day I'd expected to find a body in my friend's lockup, well you don't expect to find a body any day of the week. Especially one naked and frozen in ice, you could still see the light in her wide blue eyes her mouth open in a hollow scream. Backed up against a wall. I thought quick and fast. I couldn't phone the police: what if they thought I killed her? After all I was the only person there now well, alive anyway. If I didn't do anything I'd be considered a monster by everyone but I couldn't prove that I just found her there frozen like an ice cube, could I? I was damned either way.

So what did I do? I took one last look at this angel, frozen forever in her dying moments. And walked slowly, surely away. Even now years later, she still crosses my mind late at night. When no dream can take me away to a faraway land were my worries no longer exist, I am forever a-wondering about that beautiful ice princess, found by tragic chance.
