Maybe a shiver

I shiver. I'm cold. I bite my lip. I rub my hands together to try and generate at least some small amount of heat. It's useless. This October chill is is brutal. I guess it would help if I wasn't soaking wet. I keep walking. Each step burns like hell from sharp prickling sensations of the frostbite setting in. I don't remember much after jerking the wheel hard to the right to miss colliding head on with some dumb fuck of a semidriver (who'd probably been up for weeks on end on speed and is destined to crash into some other poor unsuspecting driver) driving on my side of the road. Anyway, I saw headlights coming straight at me and I swerved out of the way only to go flying off the road and down a steep embankment right into the Reckless River (wonder where it got it's name?) I somehow managed to think fast enough to hit the auto button on the window control. While it was busy moving the window down, I was struggling to undo my seat belt. The water filled up the interior much quicker than I anticipated. Holding my breath as the car begin to sink, I unfastened the belt and climbed up and out of the cars window. Damn! This water is cold. It's freezing up my thought process. Hang on. Just keep swimming up. Hang on man! That's all I remember. Now I'm out here on a deserted old two lane road 25 miles from the nearest town and my fireplace. It's got to be getting close to sunrise. Probably not much warmer than 40 degrees. Hell, I'm not sure. I am sure I'm in pain. I'm dripping wet with cold smelly ass river water mindlessly wandering down this God forsaken old road. Funny, that pain is exactly what caused me to climb into the car and drive off into the night in the first place. I decided that reading the letter would be too much for me to handle. It might bring back too much pain. Sure as hell couldn't have been any worse than this. Now I know that this is obviously some sign, no doubt a sick one, but a sign none the less that I must finish opening that envelope and find out what's inside. At least that what this frozen heart of mine is telling my numbass at the moment. I'm so cold. My bones ache. Man, shivering's the shits. Sure hope someone drives by soon before I passout........
