Winter;
It was midnight now, I think.
I lay there.
Tossing and turning.
My body so hot it felt almost sweltering despite the old little cabin usually feeling unnaturally cold.
Hair stuck to the sides of my face as sweat beaded down my forehead and my arms held my stomach tightly as that primal ache in my womb pained me unlike any normal period cramps.
