Today
Today she didn't go to the window
She sat, eating her instant oatmeal with raisins in new exotic cinnamon flavor and listen to the wind howl
She expanded jaw a certain sort of way and her ears popped
Everything it sounded kind of muffled like she was under water until she heard the wind and somehow it's howling just cut through the congestion
Like what
Like a sythe
No
Like a machete
No
No like a jeweler's saw we go up and down and up and down and you're closer and closer to the end of your line and then the blade jumps and breaks because you got a little bit too excited change the angle of your saw headed for the finish line and then you realize that your finger wasn't quite as far away from the blade as you thought it was and you got a cut full of metal shavings

No it really wasn't like that at all
But she didn't have any experience with sythes or machetes
