Eternal Frost

There was just something about the Alaskan weather that brought a sense of ominous impending doom and I'm not talking about the strong chill wind.

Neither am I referring to the glaciered mountain tops that sprinkled across Alaska.

Nor was I talking about the enormous amount of hale and snow which seemed to overtake and drown the entire land leaving a cold that went noticed by all, near and beyond.

It and been years since Alaska recorded it's last significant visit and trust me when I say this, that's it's been decades if not a century that Ice valley has had a visitor.

I don't blame them though, living close to Mountains, even if not directly upon the mountain is very fearful with avalanches, rock slides, rock falls and the likes just waiting to come cluttering down on the residents of Ice valley and any visitor.

My town has a bad case of isolation, with other towns staying away from us like we had covid or something. But that's beside the point.

I had always dreamed of life outside my small town and outside Alaska. Where everywhere would be filled with endless amount of warmth and sunshine unlike the snowy mountains at ice valley which blocked any view of the sun away from the residents, that is if the sun even shone on ice valley.

The weather right here in Alaska was beyond terrible and at times I wondered why the villagers hadn't burnt it down. I just felt it in my blood that there was impending doom coming.

Don't ask me how because I don't know myself but I just know.

Same way I knew the people of Red valley were going to die in an avalanche. Nobody believed me though not even after it happened.

Witch.

It became their favorite slogan for me after that day and I just became totally withdrawn.

Now that I'm getting yet another set of visions of a pair of mysterious golden eyes, i fear once more.

What will the people call me this time?

Wife of the devil??

It may sound absurd but I wouldn't be shocked if they did call me that.

Why, you may ask?

Well simply because here in our little town, golden eyes are considered demonic same as two coloured eyes.

I would know, seeing as they had tried times without number to end my friend's little brother's life and seeing as they succeeded.

I can give another example. For instance, Mrs Goodwill who was our next door neighbor, whose daughter, a mere baby of two days, was killed for having golden eyes.

Or should we consider the oaks who had triplets. Now there was nothing wrong with the three beautiful children except for the fact that they were three.

In our community having three children at once is just purely satanic to the people. And so they killed all three children.

My brother and I are alive out of pure luck. Death snatched our siblings away, Alexander and Alexandra Xerxes,

Imagine what the villagers would do to us quadruplets, when they killed triplets in cold blood.

No pun intended.

So I didn't see the need to share my visions with anyone, not even Alessandro. I would keep it to myself.
