The Cold Water at Seven  

Hoping it will not rain. My mother and her guy friend
Took me and my brother and her guy friend’s children to
The most exciting cold beach on Lake Shore drive.
I was seven years old.
Hot American day. Sunrise at 10:00am.
Going to the beach so young was an adventure.
I was very frantic going into the water.
My mother’s guy friend persuaded me to go into the water with him and his kids.
I positioned my feet into the cold water. I went deep in following
their path.
I didn’t stay in the cold water too long. My body was cold as day.
The coldness made the atmosphere seem even colder.
The cold feeling of the body pressure.
My hair, my clothes were soaked in cold water.
I went home in a cold body and soused clothing.
