Chimera

I didn't feel the cold though; I wasn't aware of how painful my cheeks were, the cool winds nipping at the tip of my flushed nose and snow caressing my face with each gust of wind passing me. Everything was numbed out, pushed to the back of my mind. The passing teenagers whispering behind their backs weren't enough to pull me out of the have, the worried glances they shot my way before huddling together barely registered at all. L humourless smile slipped on my face as I shook my head.
