Polar Plunge

Cold

Standing in my swimsuit

In the middle of winter

Out on the ice

A hole right in front of me

As big as a hippo

I jump

My life flashing before my eyes

Freezing

Icy water freezing my muscles

I get pulled out

With my arms

A towel wrapped around me

Shaking

Cold

Frozen

Fading, fading, fading...
