Falls from a questioning sky.
On the coldest of days in Southern Ontario, on the darkest of nights, a freezing rain, chills the soul and falls from the questioning sky. Hitting the ground, the rain freezes into black ice. Slippery and dangerous, an empty parking lot becomes a skating rink to a lone ice skater. She dances, carving frozen figures into black ice.
