His car stuck in a snow drift,
he decides to leave it and
find help. He pulls his hat down
over his ears and begins to walk.
A mile later hypothermia
lulls his mind into a delirium
and he strips naked from the heat.

/ February 8, 2016Ouch.. They say that’s what happens in hypothermia.. It for sure speeds up the end doesn’t it. Maybe it’s a lull that’s for the best.
