Hella cold


It was a freezing cold January night in New York. I had just left work and it was so cold you could see my breath in the air. I had already come down with a cold so I think my nose was running, but my face was too numb to feel. I tried to text but it felt like my nails would fall off. If I stopped walking it felt like my feet were asleep only ten times worse. My knees were shaking so bad it hurt and my teeth were chattering so hard and fast I could have chipped one. I sneezed and when I looked down my snot was practically frozen. If a man peed outside, it would have frozen in mid air. There were icicles hanging off of practically every building. All of the sudden it started to hail. That made the situation worse because not only did it hurt but it was literally freezing cold. All of the sudden, I don’t know if it was from the hail or not, my body started stinging. Then I went numb again. When I finally got home I was scared to take my shoes off because I thought one of my toes may have fallen off. After being in the house for ten minutes, I took a hot bath. It was so hot to my freezing skin in felt like my skin was burning off.
