Being winter is a blessing and a curse at the same time, I bring freezing nights, and whipping winds, but also provide fun and memories. Many freeze in my colds, many living things die and suffer in my cold. Others thrive in my weather and flourish to grow and take over their environment. I can last a long time and have harsh weather or I can be short and mild, just keeping the air cold and sharp. When I arrive I bring snow and icy weather which brings danger and hazards but also provides fun to all who play in my snow. My icy winds pierce the clothes layered on and the fur of the animals who brave the weather to forage for food. Some blame me for their losses or messing up their lifestyles but there is nothing I can do as the seasons must cycle and I am just a part of it. Summer, Spring, and fall may be kinder than me but my ice and snow brings a much needed wake up call for those who get too comfortable. I would say that I felt bad for those I dump snow and ice on but I don't, it is my job and you must find a way to urself prosper and push through my hardships. I am just a test, seen by many as cruel and seen by some as a blessing, I am as important, if not more important than all of the other seasons. I keep the cycle in check allowing the other seasons to happen, spring relies on my killing off of life for it to be born. I know many hate me but it is something I have to live with, many pray for my end and for me to never return but their prayers will never be answered. I am inevitable. Some try and hide from me, never leaving their dens or their houses, hiding from the ice and wind, sleeping through my icy reign. Food is scarce water is turned to ice, the strong live through my reign and the weak die. Some live in places where i can’t visit keeping their warm weather all year round. They may be safe now but I will get them good the next chance I get, the last ice age was when I was really able to show my power. My full power and terror froze the whole world, ice spread everywhere and I was in full control. Next time it happens it will never end, the warmth will never return!!
