In the snowy north of Alaska the sun was seen only six month out of the year. This was not one of those months and Jewel Kilcher had found herself in the midst of a very unwelcome and unwanted homecoming. The bleached blonde singer stood ankle deep in snow. It would not have bothered her quite so much if it weren't for the fact that she was dressed only in a light blue bikini. Her arms were held straight out to her sides by ropes that were tied to her wrists and to trees on either side of her. Her ankles were bound to stakes driven into the ground beside her feet. She stood just feet from the cabin where she had spent child-hood vacations. Having been raised in the cold northern reaches of the state Jewel knew that she would freeze to death in minutes dressed as she was.
"Oh come on, this is inhumane, cruel, and barbaric." Jewel complained through chattering teeth.
She smiled as a man in a heavy parka walked up to her.
"Y-you can't just leave me out here to freeze to death." Jewel said.
She winced as he looked down her pale shivering body.
"You've got enough insulation." he commented as he lay his hand on Jewel's round belly.
"That's not funny...not now." Jewel stammered.
"Yes, I can see you are quite cold, Ms. Kilcher." he said.
Jewel looked down and rolled her big blue green eyes.
"You could almost pass as a human thermometer." he said.
"Are you going to do something to help me warm up or just keep passing crude comments about my body?" Jewel asked.
Her eyes snapped open wide as she heard a warm wet tearing sound. She gulped as a gush of hot steam hit her in the face.
"Was that warm enough for you Jewel?" he asked.
Her lower lip trembled as she looked down at the source of the steam, a gash in her stomach from her waist straight up to her sternum. She arched her back with a grimace of pain as gravity tore her entrails from her body. The snow in front of Jewel hissed as her innards hit it, causing it to evaporate. Her eyes stared blankly at him as blood dribbled over her lower lip.
"Uuhhnhhh!" Jewel groaned as she slumped against the ropes that held her.
She hung there motionless. Her eyes staring down at the bloody snow in front of her, her mouth was agape slightly, blood dripping from her lower lip. Her belly was laid open with part of her small intestine still hanging out forming a bridge from the lump of cooling entrails in front of her. She had not frozen to death as she had feared, Jewel had died from the shock of being gutted alive.
