May 2024 Drabble Challenge: "Sprung"
Using exactly 100 words, tell me a prose story. This month's interpretation is wide open, but somehow stick to the topic / idea of "Sprung." Spring, sprung, hung, bouncy, end-of-wintery, whatever. Horror? Sure, ok. Porn? Hell, let's see what you got. Mechanical mania, machines awakened by the passing of an infectious comet? Overdrive it, baby, to the maximum. The only rules here are standard English grammar and punctuation and a word count of exactly 100 words. I'll pick a winner sometime after June 1 and before July gets here, probably.

When death surrounded me with its heavy white veil of melting ice, I wonder if this is all there is or will be.
It's hard to recall, much less believe, that life will come again and green my soul with new life. So deep into dying, I go always spiraling down into darkness so far I can't see my hand in front of my face.
And then it comes, as it has every year of my too long life. Just when I decided to call it quits, a crocus of all things springs out of my filthy piled up life.
