Chapter Text
The story of the Snow Child.
I don’t remember it very well, but hopefully I’ll do it some good if I tell it to you.
The story begins in an inescapable world, where the Snow Child lives. He has a heart, a brain, five toes on each side of his foot. I guess he was human, but he questioned that. He thought he didn’t have a heart at times. We all don’t sometimes. I don’t think he understood that however. He wanted to prove someone. Out there. In the void of his heart. He wanted a teacher. And he yelled and cried that he needed one. He clutched his chest with his own hands. And tore himself down into a hole of darkness and light peered from his head. Snow had landed on his knees, it was drifting around there. This was the Snow Child at his weakest. His own misery, had led him to dig and dig this hole. To escape this inescapable world.
He tried to run away. He tried to find a place here where he could fight. He wanted a master in his head to show him potential. And freedom. And a breath for his heart. He felt stale cold, from loneliness and without any friends. Lonely, he truly accompanied himself with just him. But befriending his inner thoughts, I don’t think he will truly accept that. If someone mocked him about being friendless, I think he would break. Oh the Snow child would cry, in pity, in shame. He truly wanted to make something of himself. That he only found, in the end, at the road, those were thoughts. Only thoughts, dismayed dreams.
He didn’t expect the world to give him what he wanted. But he wished it would only listen. And know him. Who he wanted to be. Not who he was. But I think, the world couldn’t read his mind. He still thought that however. In fact, I think, controlling himself made him a little stronger. The world was his teacher after all, but I don’t think will realize it until he feels his heart beat again.
His name is Snow Child, because his heart is warm. But it loves the chill of the cold, of the snow, that it suffers to be surrounded in.
This is the world. He can never let it go.
This is the story of the Snow Child.
This is me who lives in an inescapable world.
