Red Writing Hood- An Awful Morning

Alone.
Afraid.
Violated.
Groggy.
Disoriented.
I walk through the snow in only boots and a jacket.
I see my friend.
Collapsing into him, I sob.

This was written in response to this week's Red Writing Hood Prompt.   
Let’s lighten it up around here. And when I say lighten, I mean REALLY lighten.
This week’s assignment will require the fewest number of words ever: we want you to write a story – your choice of topic – as a tweet.

  21. Wow, intense. I, too, wrote about a girl under-dressed in the snow. But this had a definite flavor of violence to it. Disturbing but solid work.
