sledding on the frozen ocean

she awoke slowly, an image appeared before her of a man, running at her in anger. then it was gone.  she dressed herself warmly to go out and face the weather.  it had snowed again, and she found herself walking on top of a slippery slope.  the cousins were sledding down to the frozen ocean, but the sea was not flat, it was filled with great frozen waves.  the children were sledding into the waves, and she tried it too, scared, skidding out of control, laughing.  the waves begin to thaw and break apart. her brother was sledding down, and he chose a different path than the others.  she watched in horror as he plunged into the icy water.  she went to the edge, waiting fearfully as he was under the water too long. she lay down upon the ice and reached her hand into the frigid water, and he grasped her hand and popped up out of the water laughing, "i fooled you sis" he came out of the water in his dripping snowsuit...
