As Snow Falls

I wasn't crazy! I continued walking. He got out of the truck and walked after me. When he caught up to me, I refused to speak with him. He then told me I was crazier than he thought, because I was walking to nowhere and I would end up dying of hypothermia in the cold, winter night air. I continued to walk, ignoring him even though he was right; as soon as the sun set it would be cold. It wasn't like sleeping on the beach during a warm summer night. The desert got cold. He got back in his truck and cut me off with it, got out, picked me up, and threw me over his shoulder. I was kicking and screaming as he put me back in the truck. He took rope and tied the door handle to the truck bed so I couldn't open it. He wasn't going to lock me in here! I went for the other door but it was locked too. I yelled and screamed that he was the crazy one, trying to run me over and kidnap me!
