Ice cubes crunch beneath teeth clear cold melting delight chilly glaze coating my numb tongue frost bite

oh wow, your last line was so amazing. I love when both traditional and modern sum up the first line excellently at the end.

Michelle, I enjoyed this. I can feel the hard, cold cubes and hear the crunch. The end result for me would be brain freeze! ~Mark

I almost went with 'brain freeze' on the last line! Thanks for commenting, Mark-

Well said! I recall a comic book from the 1940s where the killer made blow-dart ice cubes because the evidence would melt away before police could arrive on the scene ....something else to chew on! Aloha! Rico

I think I saw a movie or TV show where the bullets were made of ice so there's no evidence - crazy stuff!
