Frozen

The cold water pierced every pore of my naked body, making my mind numb for a few seconds.

As my senses dawned back, my ecstasy knew no bound as I  realized that I had won the bet, of diving into the cold icy terrains of snow.

I had to stay inside the water for thirty seconds as per the terms of the challenge, and being a trained swimmer, it wasn't much of an inconvenience for me.

I counted thirty, and raced upwards, suddenly hitting a rock solid terrace, obstructing my path, and denying me the vent to reach the surface.

I looked in horror at the transparent sheet that separated me from the remaining years of my life; the water surface, on the top, was now a hard frozen mass.
