The Last Bit of Warm Wind
-Ishrath Shaik

The grotto was unwelcoming- frigid and stony, but it wasn't devoid of the genial, yet panicked pat of the warm breeze from behind. Freckled with crystal-like dew, were the walls. The air was salty and dense. My feet were bare, touching the rigid, rough surface. It was a soundless night, barely any light either, except for the small LED from my key chain, which came with me.

Something cold pierced my foot. I knew this was my end. I sat down and my eyes were forced shut.  For a minute, I was in great pain. I tried to suck the last of life. No more hospitals, or surgeries. It was over. Cold air blew at my feet. The ground was smooth like frosted glass. My eyelids blocked the sting of the white light. The world's warm touch was gone, forever.
