Description
Free online fiction.
The snow came while they slept, and he wakes to nothing but white outside his window, so bright it makes him squint, snowflakes settled on the ground to become cruel little mirrors into his morning eyes. The storm knocked out his alarm clock, and the sun is high enough to leak through the trees, butter-yellow; a warm lie to make you step out and breathe in deep, so tempted by that stark look of clean, only to realize too late that it’s cold enough to crack your lungs and then you’re dry-hacking on the frost.
