Frozen Chemicals

Fluorescence

"Siggy,the doctors is here now." “Okay” At least Ed is using my nickname again, maybe he’s not too pissed.    The doctor's  is completely baffled and she has no idea what to say “There is no way to medically describe this, short of a miracle.” I get a thorough examination. “Nothing, absolutely nothing. I can’t determine anything wrong with you. And I can’t even fathom what happened to your eyes and hair. I’m sorry. Otherwise, you have a clean bill of health. Though I’d like to take some hair samples and tears.” “Okay by me. Guys?” They just nod because they’ve been standing in the sidelines the whole time waiting for the prognosis. Al nods and Ed says “Of course.” She takes the samples and leaves, saying she’ll call when she gets the results.

I go to the kitchen and start making tea, though I drained the hot water tank, I still feel cold at my core. As I pass a mirror, I catch my reflection realize how insanely pale I am. That's always great, as if I weren't pale enough already. I decide to forego the tea and just leave it on the counter as I shuffle up to my room. I just want to sleep. A nap really does sound nice. I don’t understand why I ever leave my bed, we’ve been through so much together.    When I get to my room I almost instantly collapse on my bed and pass out. In my dreams I see Jack's face, he's smiling at me and we're walking towards each other.

"Jack, What the hell did you do?"

"Nothing, I saved you, ask Father Winter."

"And how the hell do I do that?"

"Accept that you are a Gypse now, a winter spirit and join the rest of us."

"We've already gone through this before."

"And I almost became human for you."

"Just wait, Jack. A few more years."

Then I wake up, and cold chill has entered my room. Damn it, my window is ajar.  The sun has set and I can see the moon from my open window, it’s full and fluorescent . My window swings open farther and in strolls Jack Frost.
