In Thin Ice

lucy found a bottle
on thin ice
she picked up the bottle that was once
on thin ice
she thought it looked cool and took a drink
on thin ice
she feel ill at first but wanted another slurp
on thin ice
more and more swigs went down her throat
on thin ice
she drank and drank to nothing was left to go
on thin ice
lucy gets in the car and drives away far
on thin ice
her vison is blured her perception not clear
on thin ice
lucy felt a quick jolt of the car
on thin ice
she did not get to far until she was gone
in thin ice

It is sad to hear about such tragedy. I feel your loss. I think that all of us are on thin ice, and the scary part is that we don't know when the ice will break. By the way, nice form of writing. I.N.
