Littlek may be responsible for my impending death.

It started a few hours ago...I had said that I wanted to make out with littlek...and she responded to me in italian...she used the word "frigone"...I didn't know what the word meant, and I asked her to tell me repeatedly...but she would not tell me. In fact, she laughed and taunted me.

Although I was still weak from being sick for the past couple days, I was determined to find out what "frigone" meant. I decided, against my better judgment, to brave the cold and go to Barnes & Noble to look it up in an italian dictionary.

It took me over an hour to get to the store in my weakened state, but I could not find the word in any of the books. I began to feel lightheaded as I left the store...

...I woke up two hours later, near the subway station, cold and miserable, with an old woman standing over me. She reached out her hand and touched my face, asking if I was okay, but I could only respond with a frail croak, "frigone...frigone...". She could not understand me, but after a look through my wallet, she found my address and put me in a cab, headed home.

As I dragged my debilitated, quivering body from the cab, the cab driver asked me for money, and when I didn't respond (I was much too stricken with what I fear is a deadly mix of hypothermia and pneumonia to even speak coherently), he got out of the cab, jumped on me, and rifled through my wallet, taking everything I had.

As he got back into his cab, I heard him mutter the word "Frigone!". Oh, how I tried to gather the strength to yell to him to stop, to please tell me the meaning of that word! But I was too weak, and all I could do is watch as he sped away...

And now as I sit here, eyes glazed, delirious with the throes of death...I just want you to know, littlek, that although you may have been responsible for my demise, I don't bear any ill will towards you...in fact, as I cross the threshold into eternal darkness, I wonder if maybe, just maybe, I could find the strength to survive if you would only tell me what "frigone" means...or maybe if we made out...
