shivering
insouciant
A
bitter
wind
blew
across
the
front
yard
as
I
walked
to
the
car
.
The
winter
air
so
empty
it
felt
like
it
detected
the
warmth
under
my
jacket
as
an
aggressive
intruder
. Quickly
opening
the
car
door
and
throwing
myself
inside
,
I
sat
tensing
my
body
momentarily, shivering
away
the
chill
wind
.
The
car
came
to
life
with
the
turn
of
it
’s
key
in
the
ignition. Fuel stored
within
the
tank
brought
movement
and
comforting
vibration, assuring
me
that
warmth
would
return
to
the
interior
once
the
heating
elements
came
up
to
temperature
.
As
long
as
the
car
had
a
store
of
energy
and
all
the
major
components remained
within
their
operational
windows
,
there
was
nothing
to
fear
about
the
soulless
environment
outside
.
Everything
will
be
fine
.
