about

It was my turn this year to stay behind. Everyone else is probably sat by a fire with their loved ones, getting suitably full on fine foods and wine. I pour myself a coffee to warm my bones. Being by oneself really sets the cold in, but the isolation pushes down tenfold, smothering you in an unshakeable dread. I push my chair over to the radio and begin to look for a signal - any type of noise is welcome in this crushing silence.

All I'm getting is grainy static as I turn the dial, fluctuations of fizzle and buzz. I tune into two men talking, but they speak in Russian and my rudimentary knowledge of the language is stalled by the mask of noise from the weak signal. And then I hear something. I lean in closer, turning the dial like I'm opening a safe. The sound comes more in focus, but is still distant and broken. I notice my breath in front of my eyes, the temperature is dropping. The sound is now clearer. I shiver. Closer, colder, the ice begins to set in. I am sat frozen, hand on the radio, the other clasping the handle of my coffee mug, the coffee now a brown slab of caffeinated ice.
