A Chill

I bit my lip, quickly smoothing it into a smile to hide my discomfort as another wave of tingling race up my arm. No one needed to know. Don't draw attention to it. 
But I could feel it. 
The ice creeping up my arm. The tingling growing stronger.
I pull my long sleeve down further, hoping to hide how pale the skin has gotten, how it now has a tinge of blue.
It was fine. I was fine.
I just needed to find someplace warmer and the tingling would go away.
I just needed to...
I exhaled, wincing as my breath fogged in front of me. 
It was only a matter of time before they discovered me.
But I hoped I could hide for a bit longer.

-Inspiration from dealing with a possibly pinched never that is sending tingles into my hand.
