Boy with the cold touch

It all started with a freak accident..

I was 7 years old, my father took me ice skating on the large frozen pond that was relatively close to us. Everything was going fine, that was until I fell in.

I was in the freezing waters for awhile, unable to pull myself back up to surface till someone risked their own life to save me, they managed to get me out but I was frozen to the core and shivering like there was no tomorrow. I barely caught a glimpse of the face who saved me, he seemingly had a small brown spot above his lip.. hair style was odd and it looked like he had grey eyes.

My father whisked me to hospital before bad things could worsen.

{8 years later}

I still remember that day like it happened yesterday. One moment I was having fun with my dad and the next there was coldness and a darkness all around me, and then someone recused me whilst putting their own life in jeopardy, I never saw them again after that day.. I wonder what happened to them?

But ever since that day I've been told I feel cold. Ice cold and can quite literally turn water into ice within seconds strangely, dad got my checked out but there's nothing wrong with me, well apart from the fact that I have an ice cold touch and turn any temperature of water into ice with just the touch of my finger..

It's a weird.. gift? Curse? I'm not sure what to call but I constantly have to wear gloves as I'm scared of hurting someone accidentally.. that's if it could hurt someone, I've never really tried to be fair and I don't want to try.. even if I want to know if I could.. god I need to stop stressing myself out so much!

I walked into the warm environment of the cafe, coffee, hot coco, baked goods and other things related to the cafe entered my nose.

"Hello sir what can I get started for you today?" The cashier asked as I looked over the menu, "Can I just get a small hot chocolate to go?" "Yep! Is that all?" "Yeah that'll be it, thank you." I waited for the hot chocolate to be done and paid, I walked out with my hot chocolate warming my cold hands - though it would never warm them up.. I miss that feeling, having warm hands. Instead my hands are now doomed to feel cold for all eternity.

I walked over to a bench near where my accident had happened. I often came here whenever really.. no intentions, I just come to watch people have fun skating and often would reminisce about the past, it was a good memory till I'd remember how the ice broke beneath me and I was plunged under.. sometimes I'd see it in a third person type of way and that would be the worse.. watching my small body fall into the frozen waters and- I was pulled out of the whirlwind of thoughts as some random person sat down beside me.

They sat down with a sigh, looking out to the large pond as people skated, I glanced at them quickly before turning my gaze back towards the pond and watching people have fun. I continued to sip on my still warm hot chocolate slowly, savouring the warm feeling that went down my throat and into my stomach.

We sat in silence on the bench, the sound of children's laughter started to fade in and out as I lost concentration on what was going on around me. Thoughts of the past slowly came back but in different ways.. some where I never got saved- god I need to stop these..

I should stop coming here.. though this has always been my favourite place... the scenery was so beautiful it was almost like a set for a movie.. or the place were dream are created and then sent to you whilst you sleep or even a place that's been created in someone's imagination!
