... the worst dream last night and the most difficult to explain. it was a world where many froze; where you could spread this death with a mere touch; where i lost someone dear to me and experienced such grief.. such rage.. that i spread my arms and wept and screamed and carelessly touched a stranger

when that stranger's face screwed up in pain as the molecules that held her together began to spread, for some reason, and harden, and when she gasped and howled silently in terror, i felt that it was me; that i had done it to myself..
