Black Ice and Strong Men's Cologne

Prologue

As I stepped out of the airports sliding doors, I felt a cool breeze slap me on the right side of my body that would have caused me to topple over if I hadn't been holding on to the fortunately oversized and heavy suitcase in my right hand. This Chicago weather was nothing like sitting outside in the blazing hot sun in my backyard in Palm Springs, California. The closest I would get to that is standing in the sun here, but that would only bring a slight warming sensation to my already stone cold and numb forehead.

My summer clothes did not prepare me for this unfortunate event. My eyes fidgeted around the busy street trying to find an empty taxi to hail. I was desperate considering how cold it was outside. All I could hear was engines running and people talking all around me including a high pitched laughter some distance behind me. All these things were blocking all my thoughts out and I couldn't focus on hailing the taxi. Some of this was caused by my A.D.D., but most of it I think was caused by the wave of rushing people around me. The smell of the soft, warm pretzel that I had eaten an hour before in the food court that had suddenly entered my nose wasn't helping either.

I decided to block out everyone and push myself through the rushing wave of Chicagoans and go find a taxi. I reached for the smooth handle of my oversized suitcase and hailed a taxi at the far end of the street. As soon as I sat down on the leather seats of the small cab, the smell of black ice and strong men's cologne entered my nostrils. At this moment I unfortunately knew these two familiar smell combinations very well. I had to get out of the cab before my life was taken although it was already at risk.
