text: “But Aaron, just exactly how cold DOES it get in the center of your heart?” Well Rhonda, in order to begin to understand, our story will begin in Alaska during the coldest blizzard of the century. It was 10:00 PM when Jim and Kennedy were trekking through the snow. “Kennedy?” Jim remarked. Jim looked back and Kennedy was frozen in a block of ice. Kennedy’s Iris looked like the hottest sun, and in fact was one. It was 19.7 billion degrees. Inside the sun was a black hole, which went to -19.7 billion degrees. The black hole was convulsing with electricity, like violent thunderstorm. Enter, Aaron. It was 12:30 AM when it started storming outside. His mother was watching TV, and brother playing games. But he wanted to go outside. So he did. With no shirt and a longboard, Aaron went out in the rain. As he journeyed down the street with arms open embracing the cold breeze of the rain down chest and body, he looked up in hopes of catching a glimpse of a lightning bolt. He took refuge under a gazebo as he watched the sky bounce around with electricity. The biggest bolt he ever saw crackled into the ground, causing him to scream instantly. Enter, Carey. Carey was a newborn baby, born during the coldest day of 1979. As she left the womb she was screaming, while her mother was crying as well. The husband was absent, lost in his thoughts. “What will I do now that have a daughter? All I’ve ever known was life without one. I guess I’ll have to embrace the unknown.” He thought. The doctor brought Carey out into his arms. “Sir, we’re sorry but Carey has a rare disease and isn’t going to make it.” The darkness in the center of the husband’s eyes grew to nearly the size of his whole eye, as every thought he had converged into a whirlwind. Enter, Marina and Dave. It was a cold day in Toronto when a tornado was forming outside. “Marina, this is looking pretty bad outside” Dave said. “I know Dave, but we will make it home I promise.” Marina remarked back. They were driving down highway 95 on their way home. The roads were covered in black ice, but Marina had on 4 wheel drive and was being careful. The tornado was taking shape, and was in sight through the window. As scared as Dave was, he was mesmerized by it. “Marina, I think I’m going to go outside and watch the tornado.” Dave said. “Dave you can’t, we need to get home before it’s too late!” But it WAS too late. The look in Dave’s eye was unstoppable. He LIVED for rare moments in existence like this, that were once in a lifetime heart pounding opportunities. He demanded Marina put on the brakes, and in her love for Dave she agreed. As he stepped out of the car, she couldn’t believe what she did. Dave started walking towards the tornado. Marina was losing it mentally. Every thought of what could happen to Dave crossed her mind, and she passed out. Enter, Clarissa. It was 4:00 PM and she just woke up from a daze while in an after school math program. To be continued (maybe)...
