Almost freezing to death

Got from the mem share event; his symbolic item is a small bell

- Two six-year-olds are outside in a blizzard, on Christmas Eve. This is tiny Simeon (with his natural black hair) and his friend, the buzz-cut Bronco
- Bronco has enticed Simeon out to play, but as soon as they get out there, his demeanor changes. He threatens Simeon, binds his hands, and forces him into a car. He's crying and apologizing and it's clear that he doesn't want to do it, but is too terrified of what his father will do if he doesn't, but that doesn't make Simeon feel any better as he's shut into the car.
- Bronco's father is SUPPOSED to come and rescue them. But he doesn't. They aren't supposed to be in that car for a long time, but by the time Bronco panics and tries to escape, the car door is stuck frozen shut
- So they sit there and shiver and wait, and Simeon is scared and betrayed and pretty sure he's going to die (not part of the memory, but he very nearly does and ends up with a teensy bit of brain damage to show for it)
- And then an old man finds them while taking his dog out for a walk. Simeon remembers the face of the old man, but nothing else after that
