COPE IN SILENCE | THUNDY | BLITZ

Goosebump covered skin and heavy snow does not stop the girl in thin clothing from doing what she's the best at. Crafting a tube of paper and plant and lighting it shortly after, for a buzz in your bloodstream and the long process of lip wrinkles.

The rocks are covered with snow, save for the spots that she's sat in, where the rock is bare and wet and has seeped through her clothing. Her body keeps a constant shiver, but the winter has never stopped her from coping.

When her regular acquaintances realize that the air outside is to frigid to stand, they make smart decisions to remain indoors around homemade fires, where their hands remain warm and their breath clear. For Charlie Terrace, this is much different. While her mother still remains the slightest bit sane, and mimics those with common sense, Charlie Terrace does not. She, without a second thought, goes out in the cold with a sweater, a disheveled head of hair, and a pocket full of marijuana.

She shivers the whole way through and often has her breath stolen, and sees that the streets of District 2 are mostly dormant, save for the sparse denizen wrapped in thick clothing, where necessary actions are being acted upon. It does not take long before she reaches a familiar pile of rocks, boulders really, and sits on them and pulls the plant, matches, and paper out of her pocket, thinking that today, she might cope in silence.
