[ The instant the snow touches her skin, Malon lets out a piercing shriek. Cold!! So cold!!!
Immediately, she reaches around her back and grabs frantically for the snowball. It's already too far down her back to reach through from the top of her shirt, so she grabs her clothes and shakes them vigorously to hurry the icy nightmare along its downward journey.
The snowball gets stuck momentarily on her belt and Malon groans in agony. Come on!!! She yanks roughly at her belt, trying to pull it far enough away to let the snowball pass. Oh goddesses it's so cold!! Why did she ever go along with this stupid idea?!?
Finally, after what feels like an eternity (but was probably no more than a few seconds), the snowball melts enough to pass Malon's belt and drops immediately out of her skirt and onto the ground below her.
For a moment, Malon stands stock still, breathing heavily, and waiting... waiting.... waiting.........
But her surroundings don't change. She doesn't wake up in her bed. The dream persists. ]
