2020-12-10 | Something Was Wrong. My Nightgown Was in Flames | WIRED

'Cold cold colder colder colder colder don’t stop ice ice icecold. '

'Patting, patting, patting, clobbering, now I knew it was out; I wanted to explain why I hadn’t rolled, but as I struggled to my feet it dawned on me that in a second or two I had undergone some kind of metamorphosis. '

'Thus started a cycle where washcloths in ice water were applied to the burns and the pleasure was extraordinary—for a few seconds. '

'The cold water hit like a narcotic; my terror tilted into galactic well-being. '

'Something’s wrong, I thought or whispered, turning to confront what I imagined was a steel foundry someone must have set up in our yard. '
